Bonjour a tous..

My very question is about water in the Chamin..
The tapped water (l'eau de robinet) is it Ok pendant all the route.?????
When or where it is not..There is where to buy a bottle????
Along the route is trhere any fountain or it is rare???
The best way , in votre avis, to guarantee your supply for each step of the journey????

Please help and forgive me for the mix and together questions.

There is water from public water supplies. Avoid the animal troughs! Bars generally have a water tap on their beer tap, and it dispenses cold water. I have never been turned down when I have requested water in a bar. There are regular stores for buying bottles of water.
 
This won't be a problem. Tap water is readily available as is bottled water. There are occasional fountains. You'll want to carry a water bottle and fill it whenever you can. If you're worried -- and you sound worried -- carry two bottles.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Please don't buy bottled water. France has enough empty plastic bottle in its landfill. France has great water and its free.
 
In addition, all the cemeteries in France have water (for the flowers!). Also they generally have a bench or other place to sit. While fountains and bars are generally available, they are not as frequently available as on the Camino Frances. You should plan on carrying a liter of water, maybe two liters if walking during the very hot months of August and September.
