Initially the sparse resources were offputting to our group as well, but we got used to it and eventually enjoyed the solitude of it, as well as the rich variety of lodgings - we enjoyed the eclectic collection and our wonderful hosts. We ran into some super friendly & helpful French folks (and...
I received a lot of good info for my camino planning from this forum when I was preparing for our journey on the Chemin du Piemont Pyrenees, so I thought I'd post our experience on lodgings here for others to use. Because unlike many other caminos, this one must be thoroughly prepared for...
Thank you, Anamcara. I’m reading your blog with interest. I know that in the situation with so many icy winds and cold weather, I would not have appreciated that Camino either! I’m hoping that September for us won’t be either too hot or too cold, but we’ll see!
I was wondering about the gite...
Hi anamcara,
I am finally getting back to my planning for this year‘s Camino on this chemin du piemont . I was wondering if you had a blog or other information about the places that you stayed and what you encountered along this way?
Thanks!!
I see that you have done the Kumano Kodo - I've considered doing a pilgrimage in Japan, it sounds quite interesting! But there are so many to do much closer, I doubt that I will make it. I am also interested in Le Puy, but I haven't read anything about the Arles. Do you have blog posts...
It's not our first camino - we have also done the Camino Portugues from Lisbon, and finishing in Finisterre/Muxia (in 2021). A lot of people say they don't like that camino, especially the stages from Lisbon to Santarem, but my husband and I liked it. Maybe it was because we fell in love with...
Thanks so much for taking the time to respond - I look forward to hearing more when you have more time. Particularly interested in lodging recommendations/ experiences you had. Also, it would be great to have any tips on where to refill water bottles, availability/location of rest areas, etc...
Bonjour @anamcara,
My husband, sisters, and I are preparing to do this chemin in September this year. I am hoping that you can comment on some questions that I'm concerned about.
First, we range in age from 64 to 73, in reasonably good physical condition (the worst is the youngest of the lot...
I assumed that Piedmont is the English spelling (why do we have to change it?) because when I put Piemont into the translator it comes out Piedmont. Thanks for the link!!
My husband and I are planning on starting from Carcassonne on 2 September, perhaps we'll see you! Actually we will also have two of my sisters and two friends, so we'll be a large group for this chemin, which is apparently pretty quiet. I am very interested in your links, so thank you!!
One...
Here's a few sites that I've found useful in planning:

My 2 sisters and my husband and I are planning to walk the Chemin du Piemont in September this year - I'll be watching your posts (and blog hopefully?) - will be interesting to see if you find the wine barrel beds!
Felipe, do you actually have such a list that you could share? My husband and I (plus 2 of my sisters) are planning this trip for September this year, and having the same issues. Would love to hear your experience with lodging, and if you could share your accommodation list! Thanks,
Tina
