Le Puy Camino: Le Puy-en-Velay to Saint-Alban | Part 1 (Via Podiensis)

Follow along as we walk over 1500 km on our longest Camino yet — the Via Podiensis — from Le Puy-en-Velay, France to Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

We started the Via Podiensis (Le Puy Camino) 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.
