Accommodation

7 nights guesthouses or hotels. During the trip you will be accommodated in simple hotels, Chambres d'hôtes (B&Bs) and gîtes (guesthouses), always on a twin share basis. Some of the gîtes may have shared bathrooms and you will need to bring your own soap. The eclectic mix of accommodations is one of the great attractions of the trip, with the Chambres d'hôtes offering home style cuisine and house wine, and the gastronomy in the hotels ranging from good to excellent. It is possible to upgrade accommodation to comfort hotels and Chambres d'hôtes - this must be requested at the time of booking.

Grading

Daily walks are between 11 and 28km on well marked trails over diverse terrain – from relatively flat to mountainous. This is a well worn path where route finding is straight forward (refer below for further details on self guided walking). The main areas to concentrate on route finding are arriving and leaving towns. The accent is on keeping a steady pace to take in all of the attractions, with time to stop and take photos. You will need a good level of fitness and walking endurance to participate fully in this holiday.

What You Carry

As the walks are fully supported you only need to carry a daypack with your daily requirements including wet weather gear, water bottle, lunch supplies, mobile phone and sun protection etc.

Mode of Transport

Travel to Conques and from Cahors is included. Transfers by taxi or public transport if you need to skip a stage are also available. Luggage transfer is provided, with a maximum of one piece weighing up to 13kg.
