    Maybe a little late with my planning for le Puy...

    Maybe a little late with my planning for le Puy...

    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 in town where they spoke english or by asking the...

    I remember one day walking with a French pilgrim. We hadn't booked ahead. We got a bed no problem in this little town however we had to watch those who had prebooked eat gourmet meals whilst we went up the road and had sausage and biscuits. I was starving. They did offer us cans of food for...

    Don't give up. You have magical Conques to look forward to. Go to a concert in the church and make sure you stay here.

    I loved this camino and frequently got lost. Even the French pilgrims got lost. It was joyful to get lost. One day, I walked into a small town just on the local cafe closing for lunch. He was not happy waiting to serve me.

    Head to the Tourist office in towns and book your next nights accommodation. They speak english. You will find your basic French improves on the way.
