May 6, 2023 We said farewell to our wonderful accommodations in Arzacq and, once again, we’re on foot!! We did not leave town without savoring some delicious pastries first. Sustenance for the walk! Arzacq-Arraziguet is a small village with two main squares and is… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Arzacq-Arraziguet to Pomps”
May 4, 2023 With the decision to take a rest day, Susan and I spent the morning exploring the town center of Eauze. We were fortunate that this was farm market day! It was such a relaxing and delightful time perusing the various market… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Eauze to Nogaro and Arzacq-Arraziguet”
May 2, 2023 Happy to see the sun today!! When I walked yesterday, I enjoyed the company of several guys from Paris. They shared with me a variant diversion from the Way that would eliminate a troublesome, muddy and steep section of the GR65.… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Condom to Montreal du Gers”
May 1, 2023 Today’s walk to Condom would take me 14.5 kilometers through yet another muddy trail day! It was an easy route except for the delays when I had to scrap mud from my boots! There were a couple of highlights along the… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: La Romieu to Condom”
April 30, 2023 After a continental self-serve breakfast, Susan and I headed out.

We… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Lectoure to La Romieu”

April 24, 2023 Oddly, when reviewing my journal notes for our walk this day, I had written that it was a rainy day! But, when I processed the pictures for this post, the sky seemed mostly sun and clouds. Photographs don’t lie so perhaps… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino: Montcuq to Lauzerte”
April 20, 2024 Before departing Limogne-en-Quercy, we stopped by a local grocery to pick up some snacks. This was the first “supermarket” we had encountered on our journey since leaving Le Puy-en-Velay. I had gotten used to – and loved! – the quaint “épiceries”… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Limogne-en-Quercy to Bach”
April 18, 2023 Before departing Béduer today, our host kindly showed us an alternate path that would be a short-cut back to the GR65 heading towards Cajarc. This meant we would not have to back-track and would save us a few “steps.” Our walk… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Béduer to Cajarc”
April 17, 2023 Today, our walk between Figeac and Béduer would be a short walk – only 12 kilometers or close to 7.5 miles. The weather is clear and sunny. It’s interesting to note there is a popular alternate route that leaves Figeac called… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Figeac to Béduer”
