Espeyrac to Conques. A shorter day for our Day 10 of walking the Via Podiensis, 22nd, April, 2024, but it still had a challenging ascent early and descent into Conques.
Conques is a beautiful village and luckily at this time of year doesn’t have too many tourists, probably more pilgrims than tourists around and not too busy.
We stayed at the Abbaye, which is comfortable and had a very good dinner last evening. We also went to the Abbaye Church for Compline, Pilgrims blessing, description of the Tympanum and a concert all after 20.30hrs. Not in bed until after 22.30hrs!
Luckily we’re having a rest day today 23rd April in Conques, so we can get to bed earlier tonight in preparation of tomorrow’s walk.
Sorry, two photos of the Abbaye de Sainte-Foy.
