You should be able to make Moissac: ten days Conques to Cahors, four days Cahors to Moissac.1. How far to go during the 2 weeks (we will realistically have 11/12 days once we leave Conques as we have been advised to stay stay in Conques one extra night.
Yes. Get the French FFRG guide with topo map and make your own route (see my blog for that day).2.) I understand that the route from Conques to Decazeville (19k) or Livinhac (24k) is rather unpleasant or too much of it is on the road; is this true, once you get past the steep climb?
Moissac (stay at Gite Ultreia, directly across from the train station) has good rail connections back to Paris; change at Agen I think it is.3.) Do you have advice on how to get back to Paris once we are past Cahors? We will likely have a couple of more days left once we get to Cahors, averaging 20-24km?

This is the reference in Kitsambler's 2010 blog and I recommend the route.
Thanks so much everyone for your tips and all your insight. We are reading them and following up on your leads and tips. Very much appreciated!! This is such a wonderful community.
I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a place to stay in Conques? We will stay in the Abbey the first night and will need another place for family of four adults to stay the second night. (Everyone seems to recommend that we stay there a second night, We only have 14 days to walk this year and that includes our trip from and to Paris. Would you stay in Conques the extra night if that was the case? We're not trying to set a record for the distance in walking, but we'd like to keep things steady while making the best out of the sweet spots during this journey. Grateful for your advice. And, Thanks again!
Good luck toe everyone weathering the heat, we compare the Paris and Conques area temps on a daily basis, then we gasp for air. I'm following the other thread on the related weather subject. Buen Camino.
