  I walked both. Regarding difficulty there is not much difference as far as I remember. The Le Puy route at least the first weeks, consists for a big part of walking in and out of valleys. Most walkers on the Le Puy are indeed french so the...

  Hi, from personal experience of walking the Le Puy in 2022 and 2023, at 40 you’ll be one of the’seniors’! Bon Chemin. PS Tthe Le Puy route is beyond beautiful, just do it.

  We walked the Le Puy starting in late August of 2022. It definitely skews older but we also ran into some very young walkers and plenty in their 40’s - 50’s. It’s kind of becoming “discovered” and is drawing walkers from all over the world. The...

  Many young pilgrims start walking on Podiensis, but it is so difficult that they become old within a few days. I have in my mind the example of this 25-years old guy. Reaching St Privat (the first step) he was looking like a 40-years old pilgrim...

  Hey folks, I've been looking for a thread the compares people's Le Puy (especially the first two weeks) and Primitivo experiences but can't seem to find one. My impression from browsing around is that non-french speakers found the Le Puy...
