Today started with an early metro ride to Gare Montparnasse, only problem was that when I arrived, it turned out I needed to be at Gare de Lyon instead. Well never give up, went outside, saw a cab dropping someone off and got him to take me. It was going to be tight, but the taxis can use the bus lanes, and then it turned out my train was delayed for 10 minutes, so in the end made it easily, with 10 minutes or more to spare. The first leg was TGV, so 300kmph towards Lyon followed by a change of trains. The further south we got the less it looked like spring with most trees not showing leaves or buds. Arriving at Le Puy around 2:30pm I found my hotel, and went for an exploration. Le Puy has a grand cathedral but it is quite a hike as it is on the top of the hill. Weather forecast my make it not possible to walk tomorrow, with a severe weather warning out and snow and 28 degrees forecast….we’ll see what it looks like in the AM. There is a pilgrim blessing/mass at 7:00am so I will try for that and it should give me a good read on conditions. Tomorrow’s walk is supposed to be 16km, not terribly long, but it looks like it’s largely uphill!
