In a few words

A route starting in Conques, north of Rodez, at the confluence of the Dourdou and Ouche rivers , which form a shell-like shape, called "concha" in Latin and "concas" in Occitan, from which the name Conques is said to derive. Conques is one of the most emblematic towns on the Way of St. James (Camino de Santiago) , with its famous 12th-century abbey church. You will hike to Cahors, the former capital of the County of Quercy , nestled in a wide bend of the Lot River. This natural fortress is protected by the river, which encircles it almost entirely. You will reach it via its famous Valentré Bridge, a symbol of the city, linked to the Via Podiensis since the 15th century. The legend of its construction, still very much alive, tells how the architect and the devil made a pact to complete its construction...

The highlights

  • Departure and 1 night in Conques in the Aveyron
  • 6 days of hiking with stages of approximately 24km
  • A free GPS hiking app to help you navigate the trail

The expert's opinion

The concept of "difficulty" of hikes is often mentioned, either through the comments you send us or through the guides during your trips.

It therefore seems important to us to take stock of the situation.

The idea is that a casual hiker can easily estimate the difficulty of the hike before committing to it.

In figures

Hiking

  • Average duration/day: 6h
  • Average distance/day: 23 km
  • Average daily elevation gain: 447 m
  • Average daily descent: 477 m

Note

We strive to adhere as closely as possible to the program as detailed. However, circumstances beyond our control may lead us to modify its content or itinerary (weather conditions, accommodation closures, etc.). In practice, depending on availability at the time of your booking, we may simply offer you alternative routes or accommodations that do not correspond to the daily program described. These adjustments, which may include occasional changes to the itinerary without altering its direction, will not constitute a valid reason for cancellation and will not entitle you to any compensation from us. We simply ensure that your trip can be carried out under the best possible conditions, taking into account the constraints of the terrain and accommodations, and respecting the specifications you provided at the time of your booking.

The choice of accommodations is very questionable; not that we were expecting high-end lodging, but we would have preferred to avoid hotels in the city center on a roundabout in favor of a small bed and breakfast or a more unusual place to stay; we came across many such options along the way. Also, the app provides no information about water points or places to resupply; this is the bare minimum. When this type of service is offered, we are disappointed.
