Be Careful !
Pilgrims and walkers starting in Le PuyenVelay to Santiago be careful. Someone who
pretends to want to help you tries to guide pilgrims and walkers o the ocial footpaths of
the GR65 which is signposted by red and white marks. According to him, the way which
he proposes is shorter, but it could get you lost in the middle of nowhere. Many people who
foowed his advice were lost and had diculties in nding their accommodation.
To reach the right destination, foow the ocial marks GR65, corresponding to the topo
guid and the road signs. Have a nice trip !

Historical overview
The Via Podiensis which starts from Le Puy en Velay HauteLoire is one of the
four main routes together with Paris, Vzelay and Arles described as early as the
twelfth century to join the Spanish sanctuary of Santiago de Compostela.
From the whole Christendom, pilgrims came to venerate the relics of the apostle of
Christ who was martyred in 44 A.D. in Palestine, whose corpse was miraculously
brought to this land of Galicia.
Why Le Puy en Velay ?
The town has been a Marian sanctuary since the fth century. Crowds ocked to Le
Puy and its fame and message spread all over Europe.
In the tenth century, the bishop Gothescalc, known as the rst pilgrim to Santiago de
Compostela, created closer links between le PuyenVelay and the Spanish sanctuary.
In 962, to reinforce this idea, a chapel dedicated to SaintMichel was built on the
volcanic rock in Aiguilhe.
Over the following centuries, the inuence of Le PuyenVelay increased, attracting
millions of pilgrims who came to pray before the statue of the Black Virgin, located on
the highaltar of the cathedral.
5
Then some of them would start a pilgrimage 1600 kilometres lasting several months
towards the end of the Iberian Peninsula.
It is precisely this dual migration which still represents today the specicity of the
sanctuary and the route of Le Puy en Velay.
Since December 1998, the Cathedral of NotreDame du Puy, the HtelDieu general
hospital of the town as well as several parts of the route between le PuyenVelay and
Ostabat are registered in the World Heritage of the UNESCO.
Advice
Equipment
Take already used shoes not new ones, high boots, with good support for ankles,
light and waterproof and with notched sole. Choose an insole which absorbs eciently
vibrations. When you stop and your shoes are wet, put newspaper inside because it will
absorb moisture.
Dont forget to take comfortable and light shoes for the evenings even though some
gites dtapes might provide slippers !
Socks must be chosen carefully. Cotton and wool are comfortable to wear but cotton
isnt absorbant; wool is better than cotton but it is better to use synthetic socks as they
avoid the problem of sweat. You need at least 3 pairs of socks.
It is better to choose your backpack according to the number of days you want to
walk, your size and the amount you can carry around 10 to 12 kilos for a man and 8 to
10 kilos for a woman. Your backpack having a capacity of 50 to 60 litres must have :
large adjustable straps, covered with foam rubber and with an adjustable waist belt
which alleviates the shoulders by transferring some of the weight around the hips not
on the buttocks! and stabilize the backpack and the dierent straps used to distribute
the weight evenly and raise the bag To limit the phenomenon of swollen ngers.
You need a sheet or sleeping bag sheet for hygienic reasons blankets are provided in
gtes dtape. However, it is highly recommended to take a sleeping bag in case gtes
are full.
Take a strong raincoat cape or poncho which can be a windcheater and protect your
backpack from humidity !
You need warm clothes even in summer, light clothes, underwear, trousers and /or
shorts, teeshirts avoid cotton which doesnt absorb sweat and takes a long time to dry.
Dont forget to ll a ask/bottle but dont become a watercarrier : fountains do exist !
It is written when you cant drink the water. When you dont know if water is of good
quality, dont hesitate to ask the inhabitants.If not, it is deemed drinkable! Some other
advice, there is always water in church grave yards !
For personal hygiene, you should provide for basic toiletries, some toilet paper and a
rstaid kit. It may be necessary to take precautions against bedbugs sometimes found
in some accommodations and conveyed by hickers. In some tourist information oces,
accommodation or pharmacies you will nd some information lea
ets and nobedbugs
sprays on sale for your bagpacks, clothes or personal belongings.
Less necessary… maybe ? Earplugs, sunglasses, a compass useful in case of sudden
fog, gaiters useful when it is rainy, a knife, a lamp, a lighter, a walking stick to
rest on or protect yourself from dogs ; a light camera…
6
Mobile phone : be careful, mobile phones dont work everywhere. It is a good idea to
take a phone card.
Reservation : it is compulsory for groups in high or low tourist season to make a
reservation. For isolated walkers, it is advisable to book accommodation 12 to 24 hours
before. Furthermore, check out the annual or weekly closing days in the gtes dtape.
Topoguides and travel documents : it is important to take the most recently
published book and select and weigh the documents you want to take with you. Dont
take a library with you !!!
Since spring 1999, the GR 65 is divided into 3 topoguides edited by the Fdration
Franaise de la Randonne Pdestre :
Le PuyenVelay/Figeac rf 651, Figeac/Moissac rf 652 and Moissac/Ronceveaux rf
653.
Training : It is advisable to train with a heavy backpack before starting. Otherwise ask
for someone to carry your luggage see page 29.
Stages : usually, you can walk from 25 to 35 kilometres per day. However, it is
important to take into consideration the dierence in the height of the land. It is said
that you reach this rhythm of walking after 3 or 5 days. In summer, it is better to walk
early in the day.
Wrong itinerary : if you make a mistake, retrace your steps by the same path and try
to nd the right signs.
Weatherforecast : Dial 08 92 68 02 and add 43 for HauteLoire, 48 for Lozre, 12
for Aveyron and 46 for Lot.
From midOctober to midApril, weather conditions can be bad especially in the
Margeride and Aubrac region snow, fog.

Le Credencial del Peregrino
If you can do without de credential in France, it is almost essential in Spain. This
passport with the daily stamp allows the pilgrim if necessary to justify that he is a
pilgrim on his way to Santiago de Compostela in France and Spain it is practically
compulsory in Spain but not necessary in France. Some religious communities or
people can welcome pilgrims for the night if they have this passport. This free welcome
is only to help pilgrims and to talk. But it is advisable to give something for the
accommodation. This passport can be ordered at the Socit des Amis de SaintJacques.
This passport is not free. To obtain the Credencial, contact :

Accommodation from Le PuyenVelay to Figeac
EACH TYPE OF ACCOMMODATION OFFERS ITS OWN SERVICE
Gîte d’étape / home hikers: This type of accommodation is intended for individuals or
groups of walkers for the night (especially people without cars). In France, the price of the
night in a gîte d’étape is fixed according to the geographical location, the service : use of
kitchen, electrical appliances, dormitories or rooms with 2 or 4 beds, bathroom adapted to the
capacity of the gîte, services (hygiene and cleanliness, breakfast or half board). The owner or
warden tries to offer a reasonable price.
Centre d’accueil communal : this kind of accommodation belongs to the local municipality
provides a comfortable welcome to individuals or groups for one or several nights. Daily
cleaning is the responsibility of the local council; however the rule is to respect the equipment
which is available : kitchen, dormitories and toilets.
L’Hôtel : This is a more expensive solution of accommodation, but has the advantage of being
available all year. Several recognized hotelgroups offer accommodation suited to hickers near
major trails. You can obtain booklets with tourist information and hotel published each year by
the departmental committees of tourism.
Bed and Breakfast (chambres d’hôtes) : This is quality accommodation, usually typical of
the region, with a garden. You will receive a warm welcome from the landlord who will give
you advice on what can be seen in the region. The landlord welcomes you personally and has
to respect quality rules. In France, the price includes breakfast and there is a reasonable price
for a double room.
Table d’hôtes : In some bed and breakfasts, you can have meals (with typical food from the
region), this is what is called “table d’hôte”.
Campsites (campings): The price of the campsite depends on the number of stars. It is the
best solution if you want to be on your own and in case of lack of places in gîte d’étape. The
only drawback is that you have to carry the necessary equipment ( tent, stove, sleeping, etc…)
Meublés de tourisme (furnished flat) : A “meublé de tourisme”, also called a vacation rental
or a season rental, is a kind of tourist accommodation for people staying for several days,
based on a fixed rent by day, week or month. It may be a villa, an apartement, a studio, a
furnished room and even a castle! You can find this type of accommodation in all places,
whether in city, on the outskirts, in the countryside, in the seaside or even in the moutains.
LIST

the importance of walking tourism in Haute-Loire and the work of the CRDP.
