I'm walking the via podiensis in July. I can spend about 15 days in France, can anyone tell me which is the most beautiful part of the camino (beginning, centre, end)? So I can arrange my journey... :)
Thanks!

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
I think the beginning bit is.... start in Le Puy and walk on as far as you can in that time.... :D

I second Margaret's comments. Starting at the "beginning" will mean that, should you wish to, you could then just pick up the path at a future date. Janet
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
And I third it. The first part is the most scenic until you actually reach the foothills of the Pyrenees.
 
Thanks to you all :D
I had a feeling the first part was the best :)
So, I surely will walk at least from Le Puy to Figeac...Anyway, I'm thinking about walking the whole way from Le Puy to SJPdP, if I'll have more time...
Thank you so much again!
 
There may be parts of days in the Landes which are less scenic, but you are hardly ever without scenery on the Le Puy route. I have a soft spot for the Bearn, which is mentioned less than the other stages for some reason.

Mind you, one can't go wrong starting at Le Puy. I saw the Aubrac Plateau in the worst weather, and I still loved it.

Good luck and bon chemin.

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

Someone told me that the part from Le Puy to Conques is the most beautiful Camino part of all
 
@Gabi Wehler the original poster (OP) was asking this in 2011! A bit of a trick for new members - sometimes when you search old threads come up. We keep them because they are very useful for research purposes. As you can see from the OP's avatar she has been on many a camino since 2011.

But I can attest, all of the Le Puy route is beautiful, perhaps the Célé Valley the most.

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...
