I agree. We walked most unexpectedly in 90 degree heat with a searing sun. Those uphills were brutal. Fortunately, for the steep uphill leaving Conques, it was cool and misty. I reached the top of the hill before my wife, a slow walker, and you... -

Here is a link to the latest and most comprehensive list of accommodations on the GR65 Via Podiensis / Le Puy route aka «Voie du Puy-en-Velay» [and all its variantes] in France that is maintained and updated on a regular basis ... e.g. new...

Oh, and one more thing... Finishing in SJPDP is a lot different than finishing in Santiago. It's anti-climatic. No big Cathedral square to celebrate in. So keep your expectations a little lower for your finish. FWIW.... it is crazy to walk into...

Lots of good advice above. A few other hints... When you get to Lyon airport, the "Rhônexpress" is a metro that will take you into town. There are tons of signs. You can't miss it. This will take you downtown where you can catch the train to...

Lots of good information here, and I'd like to add a couple of comments. But for reference I walked this path in 2013 and then on to Santiago via the Camino Frances so my comments are dated. Also, we started on April 2nd so there's that. This is...

Hi @Walden I have been thinking about Via Podiensis for a while but only decided and bought flight to Paris 6 weeks before I leave on 25 May. So, a very short notice Camino. This is what I found - but I don't know what things will be like in...

neither Wise Pilgrim nor Buen Camino are up-to-date for the Le Puy route [aka Via Podiensis] certainly as far as accommodation is concerned; understandably their focus is much more on the camino routes in Spain ... ------ there are lots of...

I stayed at YHA in Le Puy. Didn't prebook. I bought the credential at the book shop at the cathedral with the Miam dodo book. I caught the train and bus from Lyon to Le Puy. Didn't prebook. I booked one day ahead either at the tourist office...
