Sept 25
Hi everyone,
Is there a recommended (fairly ultralight) packing list for a 22 septembre start from Le Puy to Cahors?
Many thanks
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
You can take a look at my list from 2022, which i used for a May Camino Frances... but would use pretty much the same for a Sept Le Puy. Maybe throw in an extra fleece or an umbrella, but you can get those things as well on the way.

 
I have two pieces of advice. Have good rain gear and prepare ahead for Sundays and Mondays on the route. It’s not uncommon to have all of the cafés and restaurants closed in some of these smaller villages on Sundays and Mondays, especially as you move into October
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
@Redlory, as far as lightweight lists go I don't think you can do much better than @Anhalter, whilst retaining full comfort.

Mine weighs significantly more, my backpack alone is a full kilo heavier than his. (Although to be fair I suspect I've paid somewhat less than he has as well!)


You'll note quite a number of items that are not exactly necessary, or where I could have gone significantly lighter. Things like my sandals and my towel I already owned - I use what I have and live with the extra weight.
Nor do I muck around cutting soap in half etc. If I've got a part one I might take it but more often than not it's branch new.

I'm also somebody that likes the luxury of that extra pair of socks and underwear - that's something I've gained from long experience.

It's very easy to shave this list down by a couple of kilos if you wished ( my summer list is way lighter)
I simply can't be bothered.

Edited to add: obviously this is just my carried items. I walk in trail runners, shorts, Merino T (year round) and cap; passport etc is part of my worn weight because they're always with me.

You could lighten this further if you're solely staying in the Gites along the way.
