Le Puy Camino: Arzacq to St-Jean-Pied-de-Port | Part 7 (Via Podiensis)
Welcome to part 7 of our 1500 km Camino along the Via Podiensis - from Le Puy-en-Velay, France to Santiago de Compostela, Spain. This is our final episode on the Chemin du Puy. Get ready to experience the beauty of the Basque Country as the Pyrenees Mountains get closer. We stay in a boulangerie, get our photo taken in Navarrenx, and finally meet up with the Camino Francés in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port.
We started the Via Podiensis (Le Puy Camino or Chemin du Puy) on August 7, 2023, spending 28 days walking in France, arriving at Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port on September 3rd. From there, we continued on the Camino Frances, arriving in Santiago on September 29th.
This is our first time walking the Via Podiensis and our second time on the Camino Frances. We have hiked several other Camino routes in Spain including the Camino Primitivo (May 2023), Camino de Invierno (March 2023), the Camino del Norte (July 2019), and the Camino Frances (September 2017). We packed ultralight bags for all of our journeys.
Filmed on August 31 - September 3, 2023.

You guys should do a greatest memories or significance series from every Camino. That would be so cool! 🥃

That's a really great idea!
Where have you been most hot on the Camino de Santiago through Spain, the Camino de Santiago through France, or somewhere in California? Thank you for making me have such a fun time watching your videos, with those mosquitoes, snakes, stifling heat, and those great moments that you have experienced in French towns and along the way.

I love this one, "Beginning, Middle and End" I also like how the signs say how many km to the next town, but also say how many hours/minutes it could be. I guess whoever made the signs are Canadian. We measure distance by time 😉 mostly because there are 2 generations who started out life measuring in miles and feet etc...and 2 generations who have only known metric. So we can only communicate "how far is it to Toronto?" Answer: "Oh, it's about 40 minutes" 😂 That cat was looking g at you as if to say (with a French accent, of course) "What are zeez beenz you say?" 😂

"Beenz?! We don't hav ze beenz here" HAHAHA Signage always changes based on the local municipality. Some places love putting time, other municipalities only list the distance. That's such a fun fact about Canada. Thanks for sharing it.

Congratulations. Liked watching all your videos from the GR65. Really nice for me to see some info for that walk. I'll be off myself in April 24 for the hike down from Le Puy to St Jean Pied de Porte. Then Santiago, Finnistarre and Muxia, plus the return journey to my house in Gers, France..... not far from Auch. DON'T STOP WALKING.

Haha shoot! We missed 2024. Maybe for next year!
Just want to point your advice not to take the trail at 13:50 if it's been raining is more sage than perhaps you've thought for yourself. I mean to say that, apart from being very muddy and just being plain miserable to trudge in, the path itself could potentially become a death trap in the event of flash-flooding because of prior persistent torrential downpours. Anyway, great video as always; now looking forward to the Camino proper. Happy trails!
