6 | Via Podiensis | A fairy tale village

[@markobrien3278]

First of all, Gite Roumiou where you stayed was recently sold and the guy who bought it is a French friend I met on the Camino Frances in October. Second, I met the German guy across the table from you at the dinner (24:11 in the video) on the Camino. I think you arrived in SJPP about a week after I departed from there (21 September), so it’s possible he was able to catch up with me towards the end of my 32 day trek. Unfortunately, I forget his name. What a coincidence! I can’t wait to see the rest of this series to see if I recognize anybody else, as I met several people who hiked from Le Puy to Santiago.

Beautiful towns and villages....................I was waiting for a gnome or Smurf to walk out of one of the doors and waddle down the street........Great videography !

[@danielle3988]

The music you are choosing is perfect. Especially the music playing in the church. Thank you for putting so much heart and effort in your work Efren. The music for this series is absolutely beautifl.

[@johnmcglade6417]

Thanks Efren, some fabulous scenery. It’s good that you got the drone back up in the air.

[@bigheadhiking]

Another excellent video, Efrén! It would be great to see some actual interaction with the other pilgrims. I think that would really bring out the humanity of the Camino experience in your videos. You've absolutely nailed the beauty of nature and the landscape.

[@dgsanchez1000]

Loved that Church;s tower!

[@revlindaumc]

Great work as usual! Loved the sweeping vistas, the fun cow stare-down, the peaceful music, and that awesome village. Thank you for this wonderful day!

[@sandraperez2898]

It’s beautiful St. Colm d’Olt! 😍 This is one of seven of the most beautiful villages in France which are one the Podiensis.

[@sodastream2941]

I remembered loving that way out of Saint Chely d'aubrac through the forest :)

[@Magooej22]

No words Efren. The scenery and lovely villages. Amazing!!

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Definitely a lovely walk

[@TheAnactoria]

This dropped at a perfect time. Happy birthday to me. :) That town looks like the set for a movie! Like a place out of time. Thank you for everything you do, pilgrim. Absolutely beautiful.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Happy birthday Susan!

[@frybodelgado1482]

Wow, your production level is off the charts man! This Drone footage is just georgous and how you take the time to film yourself walking and talking to the camera... I mean, most people have enough with just walking all day but you put in all this extra work in on top of it! Amazing...! Buen Camino my Friend!

[@jonlucas52]

Brilliant vlog - the content and editing are superb....days like these are to be treasured for always!

[@eSpanishfly]

You think that’s medieval wait till you get to Conques 😀. Nice to the landscape it was totally white and I was caught in a blizzard all the way to Aubrac great memory…great video as always 👊

[@Walk_with_Efren]

You are right. I had a blast in Conques. I took my first rest day there.

[@BelgaBike]

Todos tus videos son fantásticos los cuales invitan a recorrer dichos lugares rumbo a Santiago de Compostela. Saludos cordiales desde Bélgica 🇧🇪.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

muchas gracias

[@Fillemexicaine36]

Hola, compatriota! tienes los videos mas lindos del Camino de Santiago. Saludos, Giovanna.

[@dmennell]

WOW WOW WOW! What a village you ended up in!!! Totally a fairy tale... crazy church spire! I love that the churches are open there. Thank you so much Efren for this transfixing vlog! You just keep getting better and better in my mind. Gorgeous music. I hope you love doing it as much as I love watching it!

[@cindyrodriguez166]

Loved the "fairytale village". Felt I was transported there through your amazing video. I think this may be fav so far. Thank you again for bringing us along! Love every moment.

[@stevenmedina4320]

Awesome VLog. Love that Village. Definitely like the wrap-up on Relive.

[@brigittegaillet5864]

Filmer avec un drone donne une dimension magnifique. Merci.

[@1313ut]

Great shots. Very nice !

[@dgsanchez1000]

The bulls wake up my fears in Aubrac... Until Navarrenx, where I was inside a bull fights farm... lol

[@Rogar0]

Wow, Efrén everytime I see one of your videos come up on my timeline a Big smile braks out on my face! I really enjoyed this one too, the music accompanymount was sublime! The Drone footage always adds the extra dimesion! Thank you for all that and Buen Camino y Salud! 👣🦉🍷👍😎

[@debbiebunn7963]

This was favorite day on the Via podiensis but I stopped in St Chely. Walking in the field with cows was so amazing. The Aubrac is so beautiful.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

I should have done the same but that's how it goes

[@PJ_Hawke]

Wonderful, I loved the soundtrack.

[@helenebergsten707]

Great video as always. Very professional. I watch the Via Francigena as well and there is a great difference between walking with a trolley, (often on the roads) and this daypack on the Via Podiensis. It is of course a trade off to have everything booked in advance versus the freedom to take it as it comes. Looking forward to the remaining part of the Via Podiensis, since I am considering this for next yr.

[@wojciechmacyna9872]

I have just discovered your vlog. Great job. I will follow your videos. I want to go Via Podiensis. However, I definitely must learn French. It will help.

[@willhopkins4848]

Great vlog Efren. Really enjoying this series. The route map at the end is really helpful because in this vlog I don't think you mentioned the name of one town! Stand to be corrected of course. Just saying...

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Yes it's hard to pronounce some the names but I get better. You can also download the GPS tracks and follow my walk there as well.

[@AP-nn4rb]

Brother. Admirable tu trabajo y tus experiencias. Me podrias decir el nombre de la compañia que usastes para transportar la mateta. Gracias, éxitos y felicidad!!

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Muchísimas gracias. La malle postale y transporte Claudine

[@AP-nn4rb]

Gracias. Muchas gracias !! From USA, NC

[@diannehoworth7658]

Hi efren. Love your excitement when you found the church open. Just wondering if you kneel and say a prayer in the churches you visit?

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Thank you Dianne. I'm not a religious person. I visited them for the architecture and religious artwork.

[@diannehoworth7658]

@@Walk_with_Efren hi again Efren. I no longer attend church services, but, something draws me to say a prayer of thanks for the journey l am on and the amazing architecture that has evolved because of his presence in our lives.

[@jameslajoie7399]

Beautiful coverage of the areas walked. Would like to hear the name of each village you passed through and stayed.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Thank you James. I have a link to thr GPS files on the video's description. There is also an excel file with all the towns gites I stayed in, cost breakdowns, emails, and distances.

[@lindacamp8561]

I love that the churches are open in France as opposed to the Camino Frances...never understood that.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

I think it's because in Spain, they were stealing the artifacts from the churches, but with so much foot traffic, it justifies having someone there. What's the point of a pilgrimage if you can't visit the churches.

[@verenama6519]

Loving your videos ❤

[@Walk_with_Efren]

So glad. Thank you.

[@Nyhiker]

I continue to be so impressed with your photography. These shots that are taken ahead and behind you when you’re walking, are they with the drone? The drone appears to follow your movement along the trail beautifully. I’ve never flown a drown before. Maybe that’s a feature i don’t know about.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Thank you Tom. It's a combination of the drone and when it's really close the insta360 one X2 on a stick.

[@dgsanchez1000]

Pain au Chocolat or Chocolatine? The French pairlament was debating in 2018 as I walked.

[@eddavis1832]

Outstanding cinematography, beautiful soundtrack. Thanks for sharing your travels and bringing a lovely bit of sanity to KZbin! BTW, gite = zh it. 😉

[@vahome45]

Thanks!

[@kayakerjer]

Thanks

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Thank you so much for the trail magic

[@TheProfessorandHerPassport]

Is there a guide book you would recommend for this Camino?

[@Walk_with_Efren]

First of all my vlog 😄🤣😅 and a distant second Miam Miam Dodo

[@hvannorstrand]

How does one get your GPS tracks for this one?

[@Walk_with_Efren]

The link is in the video's description

[@johnmcglade6417]

Thanks!
