Le Puy gite confusion

I am getting ready to leave for Le Puy in another month and am wanting to make a booking for a gite in Le Puy itself for my first night. I am looking for somewhere I can book ahead by email. I have read in several blogs that there is a Gite next door to the cathedral, Gite d' Etape Maison Saint-Francois I think, but the address given for this is in rue Saint-Mayol which doesn't seem to be close to the cathedral. Can anyone clear up my confusion or suggest somewhere close to the cathedral that I can book by email. thanks

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Soeurs de Saint Francois D Assise

It is just to the north of the cathedral.
 
Thanks everyone, I will take a deep breath and try to email them in my very bad French. And also thanks to Falcon who earlier sent me a photo of a hands free umbrella.. I have had fun trying to make one.. we will have to see how it goes..

It appears that the OP's question has been answered...so I will take the opportunity to detour.
What is the proper pronunciation of "Gîte "?

I can get by in Spanish...but even after 6 months in France I had trouble ordering water. :?
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Soft "g", I believe. Ditto the Gers region and its floc and armagnac. Gite has the hat on the "i", and that is a sound I never have been able to distinguish. I am told by those with an ear for sound that it is different from the "i" without a hat.
 
As for pronouncing Gîte, if you can manage something like dzheet it's a reasonable approximation.

To order water: Un carafe d'eau, S'il Vous plait. (un caraf dough, seel voo play)

I did know the french words.....it was just that no one could understand. The French people must not know French. :wink: :wink:

I am fine tuning my packing and I pre package my vitamins/supplements to take daily, which I have done for about 15 years. Do you all take them with you, or leave them home? 36 days of vitamins...
Dear fellow pilgrims! :) I hope to walk from Le Puy to Santiago later this year. I was thinking about starting at some point in august so that I manage to reach Santiago before it gets too cold...
Hey! Thinking about walking Le Puy this year. I am a solo female traveller. On my previous Camino (Spain) I stayed in municipal albergues, but this time I would like to try something...
