Le Puy Camino: St-Côme d'Olt to Conques | Part 3 (Via Podiensis)
Welcome to part 3 of our 1500 km Camino along the Via Podiensis - from Le Puy-en-Velay, France to Santiago de Compostela, Spain. In this episode we explore the perfect villages of Espalion and Estaing on the Lot River and then descend to Conques for a grand pilgrim arrival.
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.

So love your vids!!! Ive two weeks next year to walk. This first section of le puy looks amazing. I have not done the camino Frances before, just a section of the Portuguese. I was thinking either the primitivo or part of the via francigena in Tuscany. What would you suggest? I have average fitness for a 52 year old!

Thanks so much. We love the Primitivo. It’s a good 2 week Camino, typically done in 12-13 days. We’ve never done the Francigena (yet) but have heard good things about it. You could do Le Puy to Conques! That’s a nice 2 week walk.

@@DaysWeSpend Thanks so much for your response! Hmmm....have a bit of time to decide...😁
Are you handwashing your clothes and air drying overnight after hiking, as you have the same clothes on everyday & I'm sure that made packing much lighter?

Yes! Everyday we wash socks and underwear. Almost every day the shirts are washed. Shorts about once a week.
Was that a bug 🐛 🐞 highway?
