[Gocamino] RE: Gocamino Digest, Vol 8, Issue 6 Le Puy -st jean

[pieter pannevis]

Dear all

There is a three-part guide issued by le federation de randonnee pedestre
(sorry for the typos) covering the whole GR 65.
Included are very detailed maps and good descriptions!

It's in French
The CSJ also has a booklet on it
See there website:
The le Puy route, which passes through Conques, Figeac, Cahors and Moissac
before reaching St Jean-Pied-de-Port in the foothills of the Pyrenees,  is
quite the best developed. It coincides with the GR65 long-distance footpath
(for which an excellent series of Topoguides are published), and there are
gites d'étape at comfortable intervals all along it. In its early stages, it
is quite rugged. A number of places offering a Christian welcome to pilgrims
have also opened quite recently. They are listed in the spiritual guide
(also available in our Bookshop) published by the Abbey at Conques and the
Hospitalité St Jacques at Estaing. Especially in its first half, the GR65
passes through some very beautiful countryside. (More ...)

of course as always !
Ultreya to you !

with kind regards,

Pieter
