I hope to be walking from Le Puy to Conques later this year. Please can anyone advise on possible ways to get from Conques back to the UK? Which train line is nearest, so I could get either to a local airport or by train back to Paris.
Many thanks.
Hi, Daisy,
Years ago, I once stopped walking in Conques, and we found that we had to take a bus to Rodez. From there we got a train to Toulouse and from there you can get pretty much anywhere.
Years ago (maybe it's different now) the way out of Conques on public transportation was on the bus that took the children into Rodez for school.
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.
Ahh, falcon, that website makes me yearn to return to the GR65. The night visit to the upper gallery of the cathedral while the organ is playing is a sublime experience.
I also just thought that we must have talked about this topic on bus out of conques before, so a quick search brought up these threads, all of which confirm there is one early morning bus out of Conques to Rodez. But some say the bus is only M-F, so you may have to be careful about planning:
Thank you both - really useful.
Would you consider it easier to continue to Figeac instead?
I can't book trains yet, but have to decide whether to book early and get a cheap flight.
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Ryanair fly from Rodez to Stansted, several times a week. We came back that way several years ago. We got an early morning "school?" bus from Conques to Rodez. Dont think this bus runs at weekends. Taxi would probably cost about €50
We commenced walking the Via Podiensis on Saturday 13th April 2024. We are from Australia and find it easier to bring our stuff for the Camino in a suitcase, as we have extra clothes for before...
A special thank you to Dave Whitson for his shortcuts on the GR 65. We had a beautiful day walking by the river Lot into Cahors instead of the regular route. It takes a lot of work to create...
