    Timing a Le Puy GR65 Trek

    I walked Le Puy to Finisterre via Norte and Primitivo in 2022. Best experience of my life. I took a tent and did a mixture of camping and gites in France, mainly because of the cost of gites. I used the guide book miam miam dodo and although it was in French (of which I speak none) it was...

    Luggage Transfer on GR65/Le Puy

    La Malle Postale are very helpful and they speak English. They may be able to help or have a suggestion even if they don't cover the whole route. They picked up an item I had left behind in a gite and didn't notice was missing for two days. They collected it and took it forward to my next...

    Theft warning in Cahors

    Funny you should mention this, I used the luggage transfer to have a day without my pack and after this poor lady's experience in Cahors I have been too paranoid to use it again. Not because of the company, but because I see the bags unattended while waiting for pick up and its definitely made...

    Theft warning in Cahors

    Hello, I just wanted to warn fellow pilgrims of a theft today in Cahors. I wasn't the victim it was another pilgrim. I'm not naming the gite it occurred at because I don't believe the gite was at fault and I wouldn't like for the gite to have negative repercussions. The pilgrim was leaving at...

    Woman Alone?

    I am currently a week into the Le Puy route as a solo female. I only know a few words of French. So far I have felt perfectly safe and I'm having a wonderful time. Nearly all the hikers are French and very few speak English but they have been very friendly. I have been booking about five days...

    Recommendations for rest days

    Thanks for the responses everyone. I have walked the Portuguese route before, so I'm not a complete newbie to the Camino. I definitely understand the people saying just take a break when you want and that's how I would love to do it in an ideal world. This year though I feel the sensible thing...

    Recommendations for rest days

    Hi everyone. I am currently planning a rough itinery for my Le Puy camino. Can anyone recommend the best towns or cities I could stop in for a rest day? Or any towns you wish you had stopped in for longer? Ive looked at old threads but most of them are a few years old so I am hoping for some...

    camino guide book for the Le Puy route

    This is the route I am planning this year! I have just purchased the Miam Miam Dodo book and the Wise Pilgrim Camino Norte guide. I havent actually worked out how I am going to get to the Norte yet, thats for later! I am hopeful that Lourdes will be open by then so I can visit but I know it is...

    Le Puy or Not Le Puy?

    Loving this thread! I want to walk this route but I dont speak any French and I am concerned that this will mean I will struggle with accommodation.
