leaving Conques by air

[maryclare]

I believe that one can leave the Camino at Conques by air - possibly from Rodez airport - how far is the airport from Conques and is there a bus service to the airport? I need to fly or get somehow to England.

You can fly with Ryanair directly London Stansted - Rodez. (We did last summer.) Two year ago we ended our walk in Conques and took the morning bus from Conques to Rodez together with several other walkers. Last summer we came to Rodez airport on a Sunday. Then there was no bus, so we had to take a taxi. The information we had found from other walkers was that it would cost ca 50€. That is the price on Monday to Friday. On a Sunday I think we paied ca 70€. Bjørg
