Self-Guided Walking Tour Le Puy-en-Velay – Aumont-Aubrac | 6D/5N

Self-Guided Walking Tour with Luggage Transfer – St James’ Way, Le Puy-en-Velay to Aumont-Aubrac

This is the first section of the Le Puy Way itinerary, which is part of the famous Camino de Santiago de Compostela; the Way of Saint James. 

This first section of the Camino de Santiago links the historical Le Puy-en-Velay to Aumont-Aubrac. Starting in Auvergne, famous for its volcanoes, the Camino runs through green yet rocky landscapes. 

In France the Camino de Santiago is marked as a GR Route with a red and white stripe but also with the yellow shell. It is easy to follow. Your travel information includes a detailed English guidebook and maps making navigation even easier. Although sometime physically demanding, it only requires a reasonable level of fitness.

On this section you will walk from village to village and cross the Velay mounts and the Margeride area known for being a bucolic place

This is a self guided walking tour which means that you will walk on your own with no guide, we take care of your accommodation and luggage transfer.
