Accomodation along the Le Puy way- Le Puy en Velay to Conques

[Kezzaann]

Hi, I am walking the Le Puy En Velay to Conques route starting August 22nd this year. This is my first camino and it is solo. I prefer to book accommodation ahead and usually use booking.com or such websites. This is not proving to be that useful along this route. Can anyone suggest accommodation sites/options I can use to pre -book? I know about the miam miam dodo accommodation guides which I believe are in French only. Would this be the best bet?
I have made some bookings already along the way (accom. names in brackets) but still need accommodation in
Estaing and Espeyrac
My route is:
Le Puy(Ibis Styles Hotel), St Privat D'Allier (Le Clos des Pierres Rouges), Sauges(Hotel La Terrasse), Les Faux(Gite D'Etape L'Oustal De Parents), Aumont-Aubrac(Logis Chez Cami Lou), Nasbinals( La Borie De L'Aubrac), St Chely D'Aubrac (Hotel De La Vallee) , Espalion(Hotel De France) , Estaing ( ), Espeyrac ( ) .Conques(Hotel Santa Foy).
Thanks

The phone numbers are in English!

It is the best up-to-date guide for the route. It notes the accommodations where English is spoken.

Thanks for that, glad to hear the phone numbers are in English

Use MMD. It's in French - but the dozen words of vocabulary you'll need are something you'll pick up in an afternoon. The icons and other graphics are easy. Phone numbers and emails as well. You can reserve by sending an email in French. Keep it very short and very simple, and get a French-speaking friend to help you draft it.

Here is a suggestion for Espeyrac - Chambre d'hotes La Maison Viala. We really enjoyed staying there last September. The hosts are a very nice couple and speak English. Their email address is as follows - asso.espritlibre@gmail.com
It is located right on the GR, just past the town. It is also in MMDD.
Bon Chemin!

Thanks Kitsambler, that puts my mind at rest. I will use the MMD.

Thanks heaps Linda, I have sent off an email so here's hoping they have availability.
I don't suppose you can recommend anywhere in Estaing that you have stayed and liked?

Estaing

The municipal gite in an old chapel. Check with the bar for directions and the key.

Hi, last May I stayed at the Auberge St Fleuret in Estaing. It was 48 euros for a room. Jill

In Estaing we stayed at Chambres d'hotes Lamarelle - email :lamarelle12@orange.fr
Phone 0670881661. It is not in the MMDD. We were having trouble with availability in Estaing, and I believe someone gave us the number. Nice room and breakfast. There is a website too.
