Sleeping bags

In France, a silk sleep sack will be enough; blankets (and sometimes sheets also) were always available. Of course, if you "sleep cold" you may wish to take some lightweight silk long underwear as sleeping attire; or a very lightweight (40+) sleeping bag.

Either way, do try getting into and out of your sleeping equipment in a normal sleeping position before you leave. Some of the silk sacks may need a little geometry adjustment by way of opening the seams a few inches -- and that's easier done at home with adequate sewing equipment than in the dark on your first, exhausted night of walking (she says from painful personal experience).

Health regulations require some sort of sleeping bag, sleep sack, or linens in the gites of France and albergues of Spain.
