very beautiful, winding old town with many small and large squares

Beautiful town with old buildings and the end of my stage from Le-Puy-en-Velay to Figeac ... Way of St. James 2024

The Abbey of Conques is well worth a visit. Very interesting site with rich collections of relics.

Nice arrival in Entraygue

Conques, an important stop for pilgrims on the Way of St. James, which can be found on every corner here. The town itself is like a large museum, it is also a popular destination for architecture lovers.

Many centuries ago, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements - which on the one hand could be helpful and useful, but on the other hand could also be a threat as untamed forces of nature - for various purposes and thus be able to do without human or animal muscle power. Mills like these are a good example of the human engineering skills of earlier generations: the heavy millstones used to grind grain into corn or press oil, for example, could be powered by the wind or - as here - water.

Beautiful asphalt road, in the Rance valley, between Saint-Étienne-de-Maurs and Roannes-Saint-Mary. Numerous signs, intended for cyclists, announcing the difference in altitude have been installed on the shoulders. In the fall, watch out for chestnuts on the road!

A nice city with many beautiful buildings.
