Hi Sonn,
Even with my very bad French I've found the locals friendly and helpful. I hope to be walking the Le Puy camino around the same time you set out.

Hello travelling Sonn, I was just thinking about this part of your post and want to make this comment in case you are disappointed because this camino is different. My experience is that every camino is different from the previous ones. On my first camino (2003) I really wanted to be solitary and I certainly could have but I met so many wonderful people I couldn't resist engaging with them and enjoying the whole 'camino spirit'. So for my next camino, like you, I was really looking forward to enjoying that same camaraderie. As it turned out I talked with very few people and walked a very internal camino - even though the good people were obviously still there. At this point I try to start every new camino with NO expectations. That's difficult of course but it makes it easier if things don't go as I expect them to. Buen camino.Hi guys,
I'm curious to know, what's the comradery like on the Le Puy route?
When I walked the camino Frances in 2008, I experienced great comradery. Friendships I still cherish today.

All the French sounds great to me, but I speak French and don't get much opportunity for it here in Kansas. I haven't walked the route yet (starting from Le Puy May 31) but all previous experience in France is that the French, in all parts of the country, are generally very friendly. Just don't be the rude anglophone.
