Hi,
I'm planning to do the camino in september 2007 (I already walked it in 2003) starting from St Jean, but I've also been planning to yearly walk a stretch of the road from Le Puy to St Jean.
I will start the first 90km from Le Puy this may and I was wondering what everyone's experience is for that stretch to Aumont-Aubrac. I know it's a lot of climbing but would you consider it worse that the pyrrenees?
How are the gites along the way? Do you advice reserving in advance or is there usually room? I understand there are few or no refuges in france, is that correct?
Anyway, any info you could give me would be very welcome.
Thanks!
