Together with my two [middle-aged] female pilgrim companions, we are commencing our camino, the GR65, on 3 September ... we have pencilled in Livinhac-le-Haut as a prospective stopping point, but having difficulty in selecting [and then booking] good accommodation there ... we are mostly staying in recommended chambre d’hôtes and/or GdEs along the way with demi-pension option. Any particular recommendations at Livinhac or nearby to the village? ... has anyone stayed at Viviez? is it worth the extra trek? Feedback/comments much appreciated as this is one place I am stuck on but keen to stay ...
 
Altus 24 Liters daypack (DENON 24 H30)
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
Camino Preparation Guide
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Hi I've walked the Le Puy route twice. Once to Santiago via the Frances and once via the Norte and Primitivo. I stayed in gites detapes and albergues and found them fine. I write just to recommend a donativo 3K short of Esparyac ' Le Soulie' run by a lovely couple with wholesome very good meals. Really worth a visit if you are passing.
 
I stayed there:

MAISON LA VITA E BELLA
Hébergement, Gîte, Gîte d'étape
90, Place du 14 Juin
12300 Livinhac-le-Haut

http://etapelavitaebella.blogspot.be

It is a very beautiful place, run by a young couple.
Clean and at least 2 rooms without stock beds.
They provide even clean (!!!) bed linen.
Half pension.

"Free participation".
You leave what you want, but you are suggested to let a certain amount.
"Donativo" purists won't appreciate this, but I did not have a problem with this.
It is a nice place with friendly people and good food.
It's worth the money.
(they should probably find another way of promoting their project.)
 
Altus Poncho (ATMOSPHERIC H30)
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
On normal days, the gite communal is adequate and provides dinner and breakfast at the resto on the town square, Restaurant de la Mairie. In fact, you paid for the gite at the bar in the restaurant. The gite is nothing special, but there was a lawn with a clothesline and a big tub for washing boots. I've stayed there twice.

The resto is not as fine as its web site makes it appear: http://www.bar-restaurant-de-la-mairie.com/ but you'll be fine. (I think the software behind the site is canned -- these pictures are far grander than what you'll experience! Table clothes? not a chance!) There's contact info so you can inquire about whether or not they are open on a given day:

Vous pouvez nous appeler au: 0565638022

BTW, the town square is the Place of 14 June -- not 14 July as you might expect -- because it marks the day on which running water arrived in town. In the 1950s!
 

many thanks FatmaG for this ... La Vita e Bella is one of the places i was looking at [i have read their blog, etc] so really helpful to have a recommendation! much appreciated advice ...
