Camino Frances Le Puy - Santiago ( 2017 )
Hi there, Folks....
Greetings to all.........I am thinking about walking the Camino Frances from LePuy to Santiago in the fall.
Can anyone please tell me how late in the year the alberges on that route stay open...? Are any of them still open in November and December..? Could you suggest a guide book that would contain current information about this...? (I have to walk in the fall because of work constraints.)

Many thanks for your advice.

Go well,
Stringbean
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Miam Miam Dodo lists all accommodation within 5km of the path and it includes the dates during which the accommodation operates. It is available as an iPhone app which seems to be free, but is not entirely intuitive to use. Once downloaded you can access each individual plan ("Access ou plans") from the opening map, each red square represents a short section of the trail, and the red squares open into a more detailed map, with the position of the accommodation marked. Highlighting the individual accommodation gives you the details, including opening and closing date.
Whew! Hope that is understandable. Gronze might be easier.
