As soon as I arrived in the town, I went in search of our accommodations – the Chambre d’hôtes La Colonie. We were spending a little… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Aubrac to Saint Chély-d’Aubrac”
Yesterday, the fog enveloped the landscape – taking its own sweet time to rise above the hillsides and valleys. Once I started my walk, it had lifted somewhat – lingering only in cool spots. Many trees have dropped their leaves but the beech trees… Continue Reading “Foggy Mornings”
April 7 and 8, 2023 Our accommodations for the night of the 7th were at the Gîte aux Quatre Vents in the small hamlet of Les Quatre Chemins – which literally translates to The Four Paths.

April 3 , 2023 After getting all settled in at the Gîte d’étape Le Par’ici, my sister-in-law and I took another stroll around town to find the church and maybe a little café to enjoy a snack and a glass of wine. Saugues is… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Saugues to Chanaleilles”
April 3, 2023 As mentioned in the previous Camino post, we got a slight jumpstart to our walk today thanks to Andre. He dropped us off at the trailhead leading to the Chapelle de la Madeleine. It was a steep 3.7km climb from the… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Monistrol d’Allier to Saugues”
April 2, 2023 Yesterday, after arriving on the edge of town in Saint-Privat, I followed directions to our accommodations – Chambre d’hôtes Le Saint-Bernard.
