Here is their website https://abbaye-conques.org/hotellerie. There's a hyperlink on the site so you can write them directly. I will be staying there for the first time myself in May.I can’t find much information on accommodation in the Abbey. Just a few questions.
Can you reserve ahead at the Abbey? Can you stay more than one night?
Is there a website where I could see more specific about accommodation at the Abbey?
What was it like when you stayed there?
Thanks so much! So glad for this forum.
Thanks so much. My computer wouldn’t open “this earlier thread”. I’ m not sure why- I am not too computer savvy.Since you are planning to stay at the most special Abbaye you will certainly appreciate this earlier thread.
Happy planning and Bon chemin.
Thanks. It worked! Can you book for more than one night? I haven’t read everything on the website so maybe the question will be answered.Here is their website https://abbaye-conques.org/hotellerie.

Sorry. Please try this again. I have corrected it.Thanks so much. My computer wouldn’t open “this earlier thread”. I’ m not sure why- I am not too computer savvy.
I am having so much frustration trying to contact the Abbey in Conques. . Not the hotel. Or are they one and the same? The website seems to take me to the hotel not the Abbey or am I just confused. The recent Via Podiensis accommodation posting was amazingly helpful for booking reservations but the email of the Abbey is obscured. Does anyone have an email address for the Abbey? ( not the hotel) I will really appreciate the help!Sorry. Please try this again. I have corrected it.

it's absolutely amazing! Go to the evening explanation session and hear the monk play 'House of the Rising Sun' on the orca.(if he doesn't play that, maybe you'll get something just as great) and the light show explaining how the Tympan used to look is unbelievable.I can’t find much information on accommodation in the Abbey.

It was wonderful and the song on the organ bellowing out gave me nearly some chills.it's absolutely amazing!

Great! Enjoy. FWIW... there is a tough climb out of Conque when you leave but a great view of the city when you reach the top. There is also a bell you can ring when you make it there, try to find it. I missed that.They did reply! Thanks.
"hospitalier": this word is mainly used for volunteers (they are volunteers in Conques).is there a French word for hospitalero?
I assume the bell is part of the chapel on that hill. Here is the view looking down to Conques in the valley from it.Great! Enjoy.

Important information to know. Thanks."hospitalier": this word is mainly used for volunteers (they are volunteers in Conques).
When this is a commercial accomodation, the word is "hôte", and a the neologism "gîteur" becomes to be used...
Yes they were very quick! I have a bedI emailed on August 2 and got a response August 3. The response asked for a deposit via paypal. Looks like I made the deposit on August 3 and got an email confirmation on August 4. Good luck!
