Hi Barbara 2104.

I have just returned from walking the part of the Chemin / Camino del Puy between Le Puy-en-Velay and Moissac. It is perfectly achievable at any point and time and without mobility restrictions.

Almost all the gîtes are open but, for the most part, with a capacity of 50%. Therefore, it is better to book in advance since there are quite a lot of people on the Camino. You hardly see foreigners. With me I have counted only five non-French pilgrims in almost twenty days of march.

The use of the mask and the safety distance is mandatory on the streets of the towns and in closed spaces, but not inside the gîtes where group breakfasts and dinners take place as usual.

Prepare to endure the heat and walk on asphalt.

Buen Camino et Ultreia !

From today, the 17th, the use of a mask on the streets of cities and towns is no longer mandatory in France.
