We had a pretty decent night's sleep. Got to sleep in, so to speak, as we had a short walking day planned. Even starting later than usual, we got to Conques long before noon. This city is a medieval walled city built on a mountainside. We decided to use this as a rest day but managed to stay on our feet quite a bit as we took in the many historical sites. We also perused some great artisan shops and ate a variety of local fare. The local patisserie had a caramel tarte that was "the bomb"! We closed our day by attending the pelerin blessing at the gothic cathedral. Our accommodations were interesting as we got a room via booking.com over a small store next to and overlooking the cathedral square. Location!
Chambre d'hôtes Le Chrismo...great location. Nice place , priced for location.
