From Geneva

Time of past OR future Camino
2013 june 1st
Hi, First time poster on this forum, I hope I am posting in the correct area.

I am starting in the beginning of June in Geneva, I'm just looking some general advice for when I arrive as i have been searching but have been struggling to get the answers I require .

Mainly I want to know where is the Pilgrim Office in Geneva and if anyone knows a good starting point or auberge to stay in the first night, bearing in mind that i do have camping gear to be self sufficient, but somewhere indoors would be nice for the first night.

Any help that can be given would be amazing, and who knows, if anyone that lives in Geneva wants to come meet up with me and give an aspiring young pilgrim a helping hand making his first steps out into the world I would be eternally grateful. There may be a bottle of irish wiskey in it for you

Many Thanks

Paul "Lemosho" Brown
