Paris to Le Puy en Velay

[barmoss77]

I'm planning to walk this route beginning on 1 September, and would be interested to hear from anyone who has done this and their experience of the waymarking and "accueil pèlerin".

Hi @barmoss77

I found this earlier thread (link below) where @mspath has provided information on walking from Paris to Le Puy en Velay.

Thank you. I was looking for this thread and couldn't find it.

I did this route in stages for family reasons and loved it. Highly recommended. I have since returned and walked my favourite sections again.

Five days in, I have had two good experiences of acceuil pèlerin with hosts who went over and beyond what I expected, one night in a Monastery where I shared mealtimes with two other guests, and two nights in hotels. It's good, as a solo walker, to have company in the evenings.
