... This means that my first walking day on the Le Puy route would be on Friday after Ascension Day. I expect many French walkers starting their holiday or a long weekend off then. Any experience on this? Could it be better to set out from Le Puy one or two days later?
In May I hope to continue my camino from Paray-le-Monial. It seems that I will arrive in Le Puy exactly on Ascension Day.

... All kind of combinations possible, but it seems logical that the busiest starting days from Le Puy will be:
Friday 8 - Sunday 10 May
Thursday 14 - Saturday 16 May
I hope that if I somehow try to avoid to arrive around those days in Le Puy I will be behind or before the 'bubble'.
They will! You proposed the 16th as a good date, and I agree.not for example on May 14 and 15
@nellpilgrim wonderful story! You mean this church?
Yes that's the one Luka! There was, and still is, a great devotion to the Sacred Heart in South Kerry and my Grandmother and Grandaunts were it seems as adventurous as they were devout! The touring bus she went in was a sort of convertible coach with a roof that folded down in sections-a pretty swanky way to travel! My Aunt just informed me that she has my Grandmothers Rosary beads which she was told were brought back from Paray-le-monial by her mother. So now she's going to give them to take on my next pilgrimage which is awfully sweet of her.
Not a bad plan, as long as you keep going and book a bed those first four nights out of Le Puy. The "pack" will be hard on your heels!Should be before the crowds.
