    Conques to Decazeville

    We walked from Conques to Livinhac le Haut and didn't go down in to Decazeville at all as advised by the staff at the Monastry albergue, following back roads once we had climbed out of Conques.

    Interview with Director - New Camino Movie

    I saw this engaging, inspiring movie in Adelaide last Tuesday with a Q&A session from Bill, his lovely wife and Johnnie Walker - both who starred in the movie. Amazing to know that most of the characters were actual pilgrims he walked with 10 years ago! Laugh out loud moments, pilgrim...

    Short walk in France - planning

    Le Puy to Conques is the most popular stretch with several villages on the 'most beautiful' list - as mentioned in my earlier post we prebooked all our accommodation up to Conques. After this we only booked 2-3 days ahead. A lot of French (and others from Europe) walk in 1-2 week blocks...

    Should I stay or should I go?

    For anyone else undecided - we caught a midday boat, lunched and toured the church in Pedron then walked on another 4k to stay at O Lager de Jesus - excellant vegetarian communal meal in a beautifully converted old building. It also has a swimming pool.
