Day 19: le Puy-en-Velay - Landos 27,5km
This is a continuation of my 2024 camino in France. For the first part, see my reports on Via Gebenennsis)
Through the night and in the morning storms and strong showers were sailing to and fro above le...
As it's raining and storming outside, I will use this time for a little recap of Via Gebenennsis.

Between Beaune and Le Puy, my accommodations were a mix of camp sites (I carried a tent), private rooms, hostels and hotels. Really a bit of everything and very...
