Family Gap Year travel | Camino de Santiago Le Puy / Via Podiensis + Camino Frances
Conques is a sort of preserved medieval town on the side of a forested valley. Because it’s like walking into a Game of Thrones set we decide to spend the day here before carrying on.

Another roasting french day. We manage to get going early as it’s a bit of stretch to Conques.
Tom is hitting his stride so to speak and wants to spend most of his time out of the backpack and running. When he’s tired (and sometimes he can’t admit it but it happens) he goes in the backpack for a spell. Theres some road walking on this stage which is a bit frustrating for him as there’s no way to keep a 3 year old safe on them, but there’s enough track to keep him entertained.

Today is a lucky day, it’s overcast so the sun isn’t trying to beat us into the earth.

It’s another hot day. We are on the backside of Espalion, it’s only about 15kms to Estraing from this point so it shouldn’t take too much in theory…

Everyone is up to speed today, we’re getting pretty efficient at packing down our little Rhinowolf camping set up, so we set a lofty goal of getting to Espalion by the end of the day.

Up at our gite at a reasonable time for a change we head out with a pain au chocolate for breakfast to eat on the way. The boulangerie in Nasbinals is very good so it’s not a bad way to start at all.

We wake up to the sound of a braying donkey and cowbells in our little corner of Finieyrols. Alissa is still feeling a bit off so we head to Nasbinals for a meal and a gite.

The weather has cleared out and it’s a blazing summer day. Blisters are the limiting factor today so we don’t plan on a big one. Our extra effort yesterday walking through town to the campsite meant we’ve got a little headstart which is a bit of a bonus.
