French Food Lover's Le Puy Camino

Food Lover's Camino was a great trip for enjoying both highlights of The French Camino and a wide variety of food experiences. The first two days of walking were harder than the rest of the trip. We were lucky to have glorious weather and be accompanied by the ever cheerful Jaclyn and the ever helpful Jerome. As a solo traveller it was well suited to my needs. I would strongly urge anyone joining in the future to spend the day before the trip starts in Le Puy as it is market day.

Well run, interesting stops, excellent cuisine, etc.

A great foodies walk with interesting side excursions. We loved it for all the above and also because we are seniors and the walks were suitable for us oldies with options for the minibus on longer stretches. The guide and driver were great and we would highly recommend the trip to all.

I really enjoyed the Le Puy camino trip. It was well organised with a very competent guide, Jaclyn, and an experienced French driver, Jerome, who also acted as interpreter, when necessary. I liked the options along the walk to hop on the bus when the need arose. The hotels were comfortable and all the meals were good. Though I would have preferred not to have a Michelin starred restaurant included.

Hikes should start first thing in the morning...City tours/cultural activities should take place after hikes...or eliminate...Dinner meal times should be earlier...Dinner menu selection should be no more than 48 hours of eating it...Eliminate 2 hour van transfer day 10 prior to 15.5 km hike....Overall-include more hiking hours....Offer an add-on from St. Jean de Pied de Port to Roncesvalles.....

Wonderful way to enjoy Chemin de Saint Jacques in a limited time. 1st class accommodation with excellent culinary experiences ranging from local fare to fine dining. The walking trails allowed a good experience of The Camino. The walking was not difficult, in keeping with the advertised 2/5 level. Our guide Jaclyn and driver Jerome were fantastic. I highly recommend the walk!

The trip was a great way to experience the best of the French Camino with the benefit of a guide, driver and great food. We had a fabulous group and shared many laughs and good times along the way. I am usually an independent traveller and have been to France many times but going with the group made for a relaxed and stress free experience. Walking was not overly difficult and there was always the backup option of the van. Highly recommended!

Great walking trip with lovely food options along the way.

Fun, small group tour, with easy walking.

A fast paced trip highlighting the Way of St James, the stunning villages, good food and many opportunities to experience local traditions.

I was planning this trip, Food Lovers walk of St James for a few years and eventually was able to take the trip in September. I enjoyed all parts of the trip, the scenery, food, tour leader, driver Jerome and travelling companions were second to none. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Lovely scenery, fascinating history and our guide Mary was great fun. Weather was great but perhaps still a little too hot for walking so we did shorter walks than scheduled.

Our trip was lovely, coach driver and guide were excellent. All accommodation was great as were the trips organized for us. A wonderful holiday with great company.
