Baggage transportation

[Brian McBain]

Is anyone aware of any baggage transportation company that will transport back packs/large bags from one point to another along the Le Puy route (similar to what they do on the Camino Frances)

I have found these on Google :
www.lamallepostale.com
www.chemindecompostelle.com
www.transbagages.com

There are others, google 'transport de bagages sur le chemin Le Puy'.

There are phone numbers and details in Miam Miam DoDo, for baggage transport services and also local taxi services. My copy is years old so I won't post it, but presumably anyone walking the Le Puy will get the latest version.

You will find their advertisements in pretty much every place alongside the way ;-)
Bon Chemin, SY

http://www.lamallepostale.com/fr/ only operates between Le Puy and Cahors. They will also transport passengers.

http://www.bus-chemin-compostelle.com/ is a new service that transports passengers between Le Puy and Conques. I'm not sure if they transport baggage without being a passenger.

http://www.claudine32.com/ picks up the baggage transport service from Cahors to St Jean Pied de Port. BTW Claudine only accepts cash (or checks), no credit cards.

There is coverage, by the several different firms, for the entire length of the Le Puy route, all the way from Le Puy to SJPP. You can call them directly, if your French is passable, or your gite host will be happy to make the arrangements for you. They will transport small parcels (say, you want to offload 3 kg because it's a lot of uphill climbing the next day), backpacks, suitcases, and even people (ie, blisters, illness in one of a party, or overly ambitious planning when reservations were made). Charges run around EUR 7 for a backpack for one day.
