I finished my first camino from SJPDP to Santiago this May and now, thinking about Le Puy next spring !
My daily expense for Camino de Santiago is around Euro 25-30 per day: 10-12 for both albergue and dinner (yes, the pilgrim meal....) and 5-10 for breakfast, lunch and beverage.
Will you share your experience about your average daily expense at Le Puy route?
How much for the gite? and how much for the meal (pilgrim meal, if they do have it).
Thank you.
Jennifer

My wife and I walked the Frances in March and April and averaged about 40 euros a day for both. We were comfortable and lacked for nothing.
... from July to September along le Voie du Puy one can dine all day on les fruits sauvage: blackberries (les mûres), blueberries (les myrtilles, near Aubrac), raspberries(les framboises) and plums (des prunes).
Always pick above the yellow snow line?"Humans are accidental intermediate hosts that become infected by handling soil, dirt or animal hair that contains eggs" [same source] There is no reference transmission via urine. Ingestion of faecal contaminated fruit might just do it - but who picks their berries out of a pile of poo, or even off the ground? I like mine off the bush where it growed.
"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow"Always pick above the yellow snow line?
Walking in France is much more expensive than Spain as you may expect.
No there is no French equivalent of the Menu Peregrino unfortunately.
how do you know that is the one you want to stay?
For me, I plan my itinerary and lodgings in advance. Here's how I make my decisions: (1) I have a daily distance objective that is comfortable for me. (2) I select towns that match the distance. (3) I check MMDD for English-speaking lodgings in the town with email. (4) I send an email about 4 months in advance to reserve. If fully booked, I choose another in that town.how you pick up the one you prefer?
Hello, this is helpful for me. I'd like to camp but at the gites rather than the campgrounds. In your experience on Le Puy do you think many gite hosts would allow that if I pay of course? MaryMy average on the Le Puy route was 40-45 Euro/day, if you need to save money, I suggest taking a tent and camping in gite gardens etc and do only self catering. Bon Chemin, SY
If the Gites are in a town that has a campground, then the Gite owner normally directs you to there (which is fair as then they are not affecting the camp ground's business). In smaller villages where there is no campground they are usually quite accommodating. Especially when their beds are full.Hello, this is helpful for me.

Hi Kiwiman - that sounds fair and reasonable. Thanks for the tips and info!If the Gites are in a town that has a campground, then the Gite owner normally directs you to there (which is fair as then they are not affecting the camp ground's business). In smaller villages where there is no campground they are usually quite accommodating. Especially when their beds are full.
The Municipals or in France - the State owned accommodation was difficult to camp near or in.
I tried to find a campground or friendly Gite every two days (so I cound do laundry, shower etc...) and every other day just camp beside the track.
