Where to Find Affordable Walking Poles in France

Helen Avoca said:

Good morning brains trust, from cloudy Australia.
Before heading out from Le Puy in late April (fingers crossed) I want to buy some cheap walking poles. I fly in to Paris and am there for two nights, train to Lyon, there for two nights, train to Le Puy, there for two nights.
I don’t recall seeing those cheap shops (Chino) on the Le Puy.
Can anyone make a suggestion about where I might buy them?
For background, I find the cheap ones good enough and on the plane I take carry on only.
I wish there was a service that transported abandoned (I have accidentally left behind my fair share) poles back to the start of the Chemin.
Thanking you in advance.
Helen

Don't mean to hijack your thread, but on a related note I'm wondering if simple wooden staffs are easily available in SJPdP? Not something manufactured - just a wooden stick. I like the thought of using an old school walking staff, even though it won't be as light or useful as proper hiking poles. I know they can be picked up along the route, but is there a place in SJPdP where I can get one?

Good advice for those starting in St Jean, but the OP needs to buy poles before starting in Le Puy.
