Off the beaten track itinerary

My husband and I wish to make our first pilgrimage in 2011. We will probably go in mid to late August and spend about three weeks.
Here is our proposed route: Vezelay to Nevers to Clermont to Les Blats to Aurillac and ending at Ste Foy de Conques.
We found this route on the website and stumbled upon an excerpt of a map showing the more common Vezelay route.
Would be nice to hear from anyone familiar with either this route or with ideas on how to find maps and information so we can finalize our plans.
 
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
I have the IGN 922 map called "Les Chemins vers Saint Jacques de Compostelle" open in front of me and cannot see that path marked at all. On the Grande Randonee map from the same place there are various interconnecting GR paths on that route but it is not one path. From Vezelay you would follow the waymarks for the pigrimage as far as Nevers and then I would think you would have to change to the GR signs. There is a dotted red line on the pilgrimage map to Clemont Ferrand and then a solid red line winds its way down in the direction of Murat before heading above, but sort of parrallel, to the Le Puy path and ends in Rocomadour. From there it heads down to just outside Cahors.

(Have just deciphered the legend and the dotted line is a planned route, and the solid line is a link road.)

Cheers, Janet
