Rob, I much appreciate the recommendation for the Ultreia gite and about getting a room in the Abbey in Conques. Thank you.robertt said:Robert, a few of us would recommend the Ultreia gite near the railway station at Moissac. It's run by an Irish couple who've been especially helpful to English-speaking pilgrims over the years.
Of course, Conques is a wonderful place to rest. By paying a bit more, you can get your own room at the abbey, if desired, and still enjoy the refectory and other joint activities.
Congrats on your decision.

Hi Kitsambler. I am impressed with another suggestion for Ultreia in Moissac. If I can I will make a reservation for there for two nights (web URL anyone?). I will spend a half-day in Conques and Condom and perhaps a full day in Cahors. So many good suggestions. Thanks.Kitsambler said:Conques and Moissac without a doubt - they were major pilgrimage points themselves in the old days and have much to offer. I too can recommend Ultreia in Moissac; for Conques, the closer you are to the church the better, since everything is built on a steep slant.
Cahors and Condom are also large towns with many services (including rail connections if you need them).
I give info on my lodging experiences in my blog (link under the blog section, above).
I have begun reading the blog and want to thank you for this great resource.gittiharre said:Just got back from this route and delighted with all the places we stayed at and good stop off places are Cahors, Moissac, half a day in Conques, check http://www.gittiharre.blogspot.co.nz

Newfy Dog, thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely add the museum to my "to do" list.newfydog said:Saugues might be a bit early, but take the time to visit the museum of the Bete of the Gevaudan. You'll see him on the trail.
Thanks again, Falcon. I have made contact and look forward to a positive answer.falcon269 said:http://www.lescapucins.net/gite/
Another great URL resource! I also visited your blogsitegrilly said:I can recommend pretty much every 'halte de compostelle' http://www.haltesverscompostelle.fr/32322/index.html
We stopped at many of them on our way to St Jean. I see some of those I had liked seem to have closed. To be accepted as a 'halte' you have to commit to a highly hospitable way of receiving pilgrims and the meals in some cases are spectacular.
