Day 9: Senergues to Conques 10 Kilometers

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. 

Day 8: Estaing to Senergues 28 Kilometers

We quickly left at 7:15 before breakfast at our gite and were fortunate to find an open cafe for some coffee and then we were on our way. The morning was quite foggy and we climbed for the next 14 kilometers on some forest paths and some country roads and then the fog lifted and we were fascinated by the views. We stopped at a store in a small village and purchased local cheese, a bagguette, some fruit and then sat on the porch and ate and enjoyed the views.

Soon some friends came by so we moved to the cafe for coffee and then had a quiet walk for the afternoon. We arrived at a lovey gite in Senergues. We have our own room and bathroom. After our shower and wash, we walked around the small village and then rested until our group dinner which was very nice.

Gite d'etape Domaine de Senos. Very nice, clean. Good dinner.
