Decazeville is an old coal mining town. Some don't like its gritty nature, but you do not avoid terrain by avoiding Decazeville! You only avoid going downtown. Les Volets Bleus there is one of the nicer gites.One area where a lot of folks post is to avoid Decasville?
Nous aussi!! Hence the stop in Decazeville...We were all exhausted.
How does one know when to deviate off course so as to save some steps...or at least some elevation.
Strictly speaking, true. It's an uninspiring town, and suffers by comparison with its prettier neighbours, Conques and Figeac, but it will provide for all your needs and has a good supermarket. I've spent the night in far worse places. And I agree about Moissac, which is only saved by its monastery.There’s nothing wrong with Decazeville.
Cathedral has excellent paintings.
Decazeville has a cathedral?
Miam Miam Dodo is pretty accurate, so I would say it is right! The path out of Decazeville is through housing and a bit of a climb, but then it is easy into Livinhac.Does that seem right?
Not sure. In my Miam-Miam Dodo (2014), the direct way to Livinhac is a mentioned as as "shortcut" ("raccourci" in French).If I am reading the MIam Miam Dodo guide correctly, it looks like the route through Decazeville is about 17 km from Conques and the variant to Livinhac-le-Haut is about 4 km more. Does that seem right?
