Hello Pilgrims! My mother, daughter and myself have chosen to walk the Vezelay route this coming summer. We have done as much research as we are able, but there isn't much to be found outside this forum honestly. My mother has walked from Pamplona previously, and my daughter (11) and myself are going for the first time. We are prepared for a more remote walk, with less infrastructure, but as we have an 11 y/o with us, we suspect that our daily distance will likely be less than a grown adult could do in a day (who knows, she could put us all to shame! lol) We chose this route for historical significance, but also with the understanding that it is fairly flat for much of the route. We are thinking that that will be an easier introduction to a very long walk than beginning on an incline.
We are looking specifically for information about lodging, distance between lodging/food, types of terrain, way markers (or lack thereof), ease of following the trail, and any other thing that someone with recent experience on the Vezelay route feels is pertinent and helpful. I understand that there is new infrastructure happening all the time.
I apologize if these questions have been answered previously (I have seen a bit already), but thank you for your time and patience!
