Le Puy Camino: Conques to Cahors | Part 4 (Via Podiensis)
Welcome to part 4 of our 1500 km Camino along the Via Podiensis - from Le Puy-en-Velay, France to Santiago de Compostela, Spain. In this episode we stay on the GR 65, visiting the towns of Figeac and Cajarc.
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.

It's a church cloister that's connected to our gîte! It was beautiful!

At 49 seconds, the second window opened on the left is where we stayed our second night. We went to bed early and we could hear the singing inside the cathedral as we fell asleep. It was magical. I loved Conques, it s all you want in a French village. Keep inspiring.

Oh wow!!! That's a great memory. Agreed that Conques is magic. We loved it there. Thanks so much for your kind words.
I really love your videos. The footage is excellent but I especially love your carefree, be-yourself, embrace the moment personalities. As someone who always acted in front of the camera, I appreciate seeing people comfortable being themselves - funny, spontaneous, and goofy at times. Shell-ter 😂

Rehydration salts! Seriously, the only thing that got me through. Shawn's a machine. He was fine. -Lainey
Mosquitoes and sleeping in the heat, couple of my least favorite things. Thanks for the heads up.

Bring some good bug spray and if it's a heat wave, book a hotel with AC. :) Bon Chemin!
We are taking lots of notes! This route is next for us, either in 2024 or 2025. We were on the Camino de Santiago in June/July this year and the heat wasn't too bad but we heard it became oppressive in August. So sorry guys, we feel your pain, it reminded us of our Via Francigena in 2022, the heat was unbearable with no relief! UGH! Yet we are planning another Camino! 😆 We hope our paths cross - we need to find a place to swing dance {insert stalker reaction}! 😆

Awesome! What time of year are you going to do the Via Podiensis? When we do the Via Francigena, we're definitely going to hit you up for advice! It would definitely be fun to cross paths and do some Lindy Hop together! :) (Saw it on your IG... stalker reaction back at ya. lol)

@@DaysWeSpend We are teachers so we will be there in June/July. We would love to compare trail notes for sure! Look forward to it! We would LOVE to find a place to swing dance while we are in Europe, what a treat that would be! Look forward to chatting more!
