Where You'll Stay
From Conques to Cahors, the accommodation on this stage has been welcoming walkers for generations. You will find yourself in family-run hotels and guesthouses with en-suite rooms and a warmth that comes from years of looking after people who arrive on foot. Given the logistics of booking seven nights in sequence, walking days may occasionally be slightly shortened or lengthened to ensure all the accommodation lines up. Where alternative accommodation is substituted for those listed, it will always meet the same standard.
Single Rooms
If you are travelling with others but would prefer a single room, we recommend booking as early as possible. Availability can be limited on this popular route and a single occupancy fee applies.
What You'll Eat
Seven breakfasts are included across the trip, served at your accommodation before each day's walking begins. The villages and towns along this stage are good places to stop for lunch, with local cheeses, cured meats and a wide variety of breads easy to find along the way. In the evenings, many properties have their own restaurants bringing the regional food of this part of France to the table, and dinner can be added as a supplement for those who want the full picture.
Note: Please advise us of any food allergies or intolerances at the time of booking. If you have severe allergies, bringing some of your own snacks is recommended, as specialist ingredients can be harder to source along the way.
