We left Le Puy by 9 AM. Our backpacks had been picked up at 8:45 am so we were literally dashing out of the hotel following our bags. We had a little difficultly getting out of town as we could not find the traditional Camino shell or GR65 white and red markings on the road or buildings.
We walked about 15 km from Le Puy to Bains. Bains Is not directly on the Chemin de St. Jacques but was necessary because there were no rooms available within a reasonable distance. The weather forecast was rain and thunderstorms for the whole day. We carried the appropriate raingear and were fortunate that it was not needed as the rain started after we arrived at Bain's we climbed over 500 m in today's hike.
We had a lovely communal meal with 14 other pelerins that had been caught in the rain and had found no place to stay on the trail. Our inn keeper Daniel had gone to pick them up and drove them to Bains.
