    Next stop after Sauges - route options

    I did the Le Puy route beginning in May. This may be a little longer than you would like to walk as we are all so different but being 82 I didn't have any problem with it. The place we stopped was in La Roche, 25km, and called La Bergerie de Compostelle where we had one of the best dinners and...

    Trip Report: Le Puy to St Jean/Roncesvalles, via Lourdes

    i so enjoyed your report and it brought back memories of my Camino in 2015. So much so that I am contemplating doing it again in 2019. Stayed at several of the same Gites mentioned in your article. Can't wait to get the new updates! Thanks for all the info. Will try deviating from my first...

    Best Time to walk -- VERY Advance Planning!

    My friend and I walked Le Puy to SDC in 2015 beginning the middle of May - arriving in SJPP around the end of June and then continuing to Santiago. We did not find it crowded at all! We met lovely pilgrims walking and had no problems finding places to stay. And, only one rain day in that...

    Whoops, I Did it Again...

    LIVE from the Camino Le Puy to Santiago. Finally!

    Loved your post! Reminds me of our first day from Le Puy! We got lost going out of the city and ended up walking about 6 miles the wrong way. Neither of us spoke French but when we stopped to ask directions in this little town, the lady told us the best thing to do is go back and start over...

    Camino difficulty

    As a 76 yr old woman who completed the journey this past June, I would say it is challenging. Going with a 22 yr old granddaughter was the delight of my life and I would do it again in a heartbeat! Yes, some days I wondered if I would make it over the next hill but at the end of the day as...
