Not funny. If the authorities in France are issuing alerts about extreme weather, we should take them seriously. They know what they are talking about.It's nice and warm on the Camino today, though just another 2 or 3 degrees would be really lovely.
Temperatures are expected between 34 (93,2F) and 42C (108F) in France today and for most of the week.Not funny. If the authorities in France are issuing alerts about extreme weather, we should take them seriously. They know what they are talking about.
Yes please be careful. I’m in Lectoure on the Le Puy Way. High 30s by mid afternoon. And climbing. Have seen many exhausted pilgrims in recent days. If you’re walking, best to start early and shorter days if possible.Not funny. If the authorities in France are issuing alerts about extreme weather, we should take them seriously.

True, some - but certainly not a lot. We walk between Lectoure and Condom regularly. And the stages immediately before Lectoure also have 'some' but not very much shade. Always good to take a break in the shade, but eventually if you are between accommodations you have to keep going.The walk from Lectoure to Condom some shade, the operating word being « some ».
Ooof. We’re all walking into the heat until Friday or so. After tomorrow, we have some shorter days planned. I’ve got some electrolytes from the pharmacy (like pedialite). Literally my life saver right now.@DaysWeSpend In Lectoure, further along from Cahors, the already hot days are set to get even hotter until Thursday then a much cooler change, fingers crossed. Wonder if you have the time to walk short distances or even take a few days off. Take care out there.
Thank you, but we're not walking at the moment. We are living in Lectoure so staying out of the heat. Best wishes for coming days and feel free to be in touch if you're stopping in Lectoure.You take care, too!

Thanks so much! I’ll send you a message when we’re closer to Lectoure.Thank you, but we're not walking at the moment. We are living in Lectoure so staying out of the heat. Best wishes for coming days and feel free to be in touch if you're stopping in Lectoure.
It's getting to be blimming hot down here too !!I'm in Saugues right now, and it has been brutal. I'm walking with a hiking umbrella, which helps a little.
I’ll be overnighting in Lectoure 31 August. Better weather, I hope.Thank you, but we're not walking at the moment. We are living in Lectoure so staying out of the heat. Best wishes for coming days and feel free to be in touch if you're stopping in Lectoure.
Ouch !!Just saw that MeteoFrance has just placed 19 additional departments on weather red alert including Gers.
The departments now include:
Ain, Loire, Isère, Lozère, Gard, Vaucluse, Hérault, Aveyron, Tarn, Tarn-et-Garonne, Aude, Lot, Lot-et-Garonne, Haute-Garonne, Gers, already red alert since yesterday for l'Ardèche, la Drôme, la Haute-Loire et Rhône.
Stay safe.
I walked Rocamadour to Labastide-Murat today with no problems. Lovely countryside. The usual recommendations apply: start early, drink plenty. For me, it’s important to keep moving. Too many breaks add up to more time in the heat at the end. Of course, take a break when you need it. I left Rocamadour at 6:00 am and arrived Labastide at 11:20 am. Temp was 88F/31C when I arrived. An hour later after sitting on a park bench in the shade to eat lunch, it was 94F/34C. Now at 5:30 pm it is 100F/38C.Red alerts for tomorrow, Thursday, August 24.
