Walking from Le Puy to SJPP.

Time of past OR future Camino
April-May 2023 > April-May 2024
I will be starting my '25 Camino in Le Puy. When can I start and feel comfortable that gites will be open and plentiful? This is one concern that I have. I usually start around the 1st of April when on the Francis. Is late February too early?

Also, I plan to take three rest days. What towns would you suggest I stay in during my zero days?

Thanks! Buen Camino!!!
 
More 2024 Camino Guides available
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
@JeffP, I have yet to walk the route, still just in the planning stages. I recall seeing a number of posts that point out that many Gites only opened late March/ beginning of April. You may therefore struggle to find accommodation.

In addition to which, even in early April some people reported lots of rain and some snow on the Aubrac. I think should you want to walk earlier you would need to be prepared for walking in snow.
 
Camino Way markers in Bronze
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
I started the Via Podiensis out of Le Puy on June 1st with two friends. In our planning we had seen photos of pilgrims who struggled in slippy slushy snow just a week earlier, as the area is part of the Aubrac region.
We did not encounter snow, only chilly weather the first half, but hard to predict weather as we all know.

    Thread 'Camino from Le Puy en Velay to Saint Jean Pied de Port in November'

    Hi Everyone, I am planning to start a slow camino from Le Puy to Saint Jean Pied de Port on 2nd October. How is the weather in November? Is there sufficient accommodation and food places open and is there bag transport? Thanks, Intrepid Jenny

  • Thread 'Le Puy Camino'

    I'm interested in doing a different Camino having walked the Primitivo this year and CF in 2016. Le Puy seems very interesting and hopefully I can walk from Le Puy to Conques. I was hoping to walk in April or May. Any suggestions on when to go, and what the weather would be like? I will be walking solo. Merci!
