    A third video from the Le Puy route, Cahors - Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port

    Thank you very much! Makes me happy! You can see the address of my channel and my videos below. The last one I've posted is from Via Augusta, Cadiz - Sevilla. For sure a "less-travelled" camino. I hope to make more videos when the fall comes, because I have walked several caminos more, and have...

    A third video from the Le Puy route, Cahors - Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port

    Thanks for your comment. It's nice to hear that someone likes my videos. You can always find a list at the end of the videos, telling which music is used. On this video it says: Tchaikovsky: Romeo & Juliet, Overture. Chopin: Nocturne In Ess-dur. Debussy: Preludes, Book 1, L 117- La Fille Aux...

    A third video from the Le Puy route, Cahors - Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port

    Here comes my third - and last - video from the Le Puy route. It shows our hike from Cahors to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. Many nice places along the way: Lauzerte, Moissac, Auvillar, Romieu, Navarrenx and many more. My first video from this route: Le Puy - Conques Part 2/9. I also have a video...

    A second video from the Le Puy route, Conques - Cahors

    As you can see @Robo, I have put in the GR-numbers in my video. This is the French system of numbering their long distance walks. The main route to Spain and Santiago from Le Puy has number GR65. Because of this system, you can also find alternatives. In my video, you see the choice of the...

    A second video from the Le Puy route, Conques - Cahors

    Here is my second video from the Le Puy route - the part in the middle - from Conques to Cahors. We walked a few short sections on the main route, GR65. From Figeac, we took a detour to Rocamadour, GR6 (time on the video 00:56), and after Figeac we chose the alternative route through the Célé...

    Le Puy or del Norte?

    As you may have seen, I am posting videos from these two caminos just now. I have walked them both, and I can not compare and not choose one or the other. They are too different. You have got good arguments for both here. But ... I have walked some caminos, and I have said that Camino Norte is...

    New video from Le Puy to Conques

    Thank you, all three of you, responding to my video! If it brings back good memories, making the videos is not done in vain. :)

    New video from Le Puy to Conques

    I have made some videos from my pilgrimage on Via Podensis to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. We walked parts four-five summers. Since I have liked very much to look at videos that other walkers have made, I thought it was my turn to contribute. This video is from the part Le Puy - Conques. Two more...

    Recommendations for linking Le Puy to Del Norte

    I've posted about this today at forum Camino Norte, and see now that I should give you the information here as well. I have made a new video from GR10, from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Hendaye / Irun. This stretch of the Pyrenees is a great way to connect the route from Le Puy in France (GR65)...

    Lyon Airport to Gare La Part Dieu advice

    There was a bus when we were there in 2008 or 2009, but no there is a tram. This is said on Wikipedia: "The Rhônexpress tramway began operations in August 2010 and links the TGV rail station of Lyon Part-Dieu with the Gare de Lyon Saint-Exupéry in less than 30 minutes, albeit at a price many...

    Valley Cele - Information Please

    I walked the Cele-route in 2010, but I think there has been a lot of good information on that here now. What I want to comment is the detour to Rocamadour. As long as I have seen everybody has taken the train to Rocamadour. You can walk! It is a nice walk! We left Figeac and walked the first day...

    Language & calling ahead

    In this big choir of "calling ahead" I just wanted to put in this little tune: It is posible to walk in France without booking ahead, and June (at least the second half of it when I have walked) is not the most crowded time. You will manage well in one way or the other. Bjørg

    Best time to walk

    I have been walking the Le-Puy-route two weeks each year for three years now, always in the second half of June. I have found that a very good time; not too many walkers, good weather but not too hot, green nature. Bjørg

    Looking for some information

    You should ask this question on "Le Puy route" or "El camino de Norte" to get more answers. Here is a link to somewhere else on the forum on this question: el-camino-del-norte/topic5642.html Bjørg

    leaving Conques by air

    You can fly with Ryanair directly London Stansted - Rodez. (We did last summer.) Two year ago we ended our walk in Conques and took the morning bus from Conques to Rodez together with several other walkers. Last summer we came to Rodez airport on a Sunday. Then there was no bus, so we had to...

    Conques to SJPDP, starting July 22 - Greetings, fellow Pilgr

    I walked the Cele valley last summer. Very nice walk! We used a french guidebook and the Miam Miam Dodo. You can find the route here: http://www.chemindecompostelle.com/Sele ... rance.html Go to the Figeac-part and choose the "Variante de Cele. Carte A". The route is well marked. You will find...

    Where to start?

    I started a little bit up in France in 2007, and I just found a place where good communications cross the camino. I used 5 1/2 week to Santiago and started in a very small village called Argagnon, a days walk before Navarrenx. I was 55 years old and I am not a "long-distance-runner"! You can...

    Bus services

    The bus services are much better in Spain than in France! And it is not easy to find out when and where the buses are going. My best advice is: Ask in the Office de Turisme. This offices are good in France! For a sentral part of the route, you can use this adress...

    5 day walk on Le Puy route to St Jean PDP

    I have done what you wanted too, but I walked four days to SJPP. Then you have no problems with the tranport. I took the train which goes from Bayonne to Pau. Take this train to the town Orthez. A taxi brought me a few kilometers to the small village called Argagnon. There the Le Puy - SJPP -...

    Detour from Figeac to Rocamadour and back to Cahors.

    Thank you! We will walk from Conques to Cahors in some weeks. Since the walking is the aim, we will walk this way: Conques - Figeac - Rocamadour - Vers. Then we will take a bus back to Figeac and walk the Cele-valley to Cahors. Do not want to miss anything. We want to see the Pech-Merle cave and...
