    Le Puy Route - the variants!?

    Yes, when we talk about variants and options, so much depends on the conditions. Had a good chuckle at the story of your day, had the odd day like that myself. Do you remember if the route via Noailhac was mostly road walking, if so, what was it like? Colin

    Le Puy Route - the variants!?

    I'm looking myself. I wonder if you take the route to Agnac, which seems to by-pass the centre of Decazeville. The description of the turn off depends on what route you take out of Conques after Chapelle Sainte-Foy (cf Miam Miam Plan 23), the turn off point looks like it follows the D580 (cf...

    Lunch on the road ideas

    Hi Bill, Yes, we usually get by with bread, cheese & sausage, from what I had read I thought even that might be a bit harder to arrange on the Le Puy route. So, looks like we might not starve after all. Thanks Colin

    Lunch on the road ideas

    Very interested in the thoughts of those who've walked the Le Puy route, on how they managed their on the road food, throughout the day. My understanding is that the GR65 is quite different from the "Camino Frances", where bocadillos and tortillas abound (not to mention café con lechie), and...

    Figeac to Moissac June

    Yes, and seems to miss some information included in the book.

    Figeac to Moissac June

    Hey David, There might be money to be made from a guide to the GR65, with stages based on the quality of the red wine in the preceding town. Just have to keep it under 90 days, to fit the Schengen visa requirements, but I imagine one could happily stagger from Le Puy to SJPP, happily in that...

    Leaving Le Puy in Mid March 2014

    Hi Ozzie Pilgrim, Welcome to the Forum. I'm leaving Le Puy in April, have you looked at the Calendar in the "EVENTS" tab, near top of this web page. Bon Chemin Colin

    Montbonnet

    I wonder whether that is not "La Grange"? The 2014 Miam-Miam-Dodo only lists 2 Gites, L'escole & Gite d'etape La Grange-Bar Le Saint-Jacques. Colin

    Montbonnet

    Hi David, We are staying with Sabine in April. The other option in Montbonnet is La Grange, they were full on when we enquired but they replied and recommended Sabine @ L'Escole. So at the very least they are helpful. Colin

    Bains/Fay Variante

    Hi Caitlín, Thank you very much for the information. Just trying to gauge which might be the "nicer" walk to Montbonnet. Colin

    Le Puy to SSPdP pilgrim route - app required for iPhone 5S (electronic maps).

    Hi Ralph, Slightly more expensive to set up, but you can have a French SIM (Orange) from Mobi Passport, all set up before you go. If you don't need mountains of data for get 50MB per day for 2Euro. http://www.mobipassport.com.au/france-sim-p/france-orange.htm Colin

    Bains/Fay Variante

    Has anyone walked le Puy - Montbonnet via Bains/Fay? If so, how was that route? Has anyone had the chance to compare that route, with the route via Ramourouscle? If so, what was your opinion. Bon Chemin Colin

    Le-Puy-en-Velay Tourist Guide

    Hi Margaret, Thanks for the link. Helen & I are planning to spend a couple of days there in April, before "setting off". We're hoping to "sort something" for Montbonnet ourselves, as it's not that easy from this side of the world, so we'll try the tourist office. Colin

    Alison Raju - Le Puy to the Pyrenees Guide

    Hi David, Is there a "way marked" path from SJPP to the coast (Biarritz) or is it a "road walk"? Col

    Le Puy to Santiago or Saint Jean to Finisterre?

    Hello Bear, Welcome to the forum. Can't offer you a great deal of advice as have not walked Le Puy, yet. Planning to do that after Easter ourselves. One issue to consider is time factor (90 days Schengen visa if you're from outside the Euro zone), particularly if you like to take your time and...

    Alison Raju - Le Puy to the Pyrenees Guide

    Hi Ralph, Welcome to the forum. Here is the link from the publisher (Book , eBook). http://www.cicerone.co.uk/product/detail.cfm/book/608/title/the-way-of-st-james-france I think you'll find the 2013 edition is just a "reprint" of the 2010 edition, with minimal updates. As mentioned...
