This is Thursday, August 27!
Got started with croissants - plain and chocolate; and bread, yogurt, coffee and tea
Long and steep climb getting out of Conques. Midway up was the Chapelle of Saint Foy - we rang the bell and took a short break
View back to Conques shows how far we had come but only half way up, took us 90 minutes to walk up and out of the valley
We took the alternate route and saved an hour and didn't get lost - awesome
The blackberries were the best we have had along the trail
The sign isn't kidding - 18% grade, it was a steep climb
Having our nectarine by one of the many Saint Roch chapels on today's route - we rang the bell here too
Pretty stained glass
Then we dropped down down down into Decazville only to have to climb back up. Then another long downhill to our stopping point.
It was sunny and hot. We left hotel at 8:30 and arrived at 5:00. Very hot.
Dinner at restaurant next door to our chambres was interesting. They didn't have reservation for us and the entire meal was served on one plate (except the bread and dessert) - salad, gazpacho, turkey, potatoes and cheese
For dessert we went with creme brûlée - very rich
Another long day of walking tomorrow.
