Itinerary

Cross the storied Aubrac Plateau in southern France on the "Le Puy Camino - Aumont to Conques" self-guided walking tour, an 8-day exploration rich in history and natural beauty. Designed for experienced travelers and those seeking a meaningful journey, this moderate-level trip follows the Via Podiensis—the French Way of St James—through charming villages, Romanesque churches, and the picturesque town of Conques.

This stage is part of the greater pilgrimage route to Compostela, a path trodden by pilgrims since the 9th century. The itinerary can be combined with other segments, offering flexibility to tailor your adventure. All accommodations, meals, and transport are arranged for a worry-free experience.

The trip’s standout feature is its passage through a landscape that feels like an open-air museum, brimming with centuries-old art and architecture, making it an enriching walking tour for lovers of culture and heritage.

day 1Arrival in Aumont-Aubrac

Make your own way to Aumont-Aubrac. Set at 1050m, the town is in the heart of Lozère and is an important point on the Le Puy Camino. The old town has preserved houses from the 16th and 17th centuries with sculpted stone facades. There is a statue here of the “Bête du Gévaudan” (Beast of the Gévaudan), the man-eating wolf-dog that terrorised the Lozère area in the late 1700s and as a werewolf has inspired literature and popular culture since the mid 1800s.
Optional hotel upgrade (with pool) at Aumont available - must be requested at time of booking, supplement applies.

The booking porocess was easy, and customer service was responsive. I contacted 4 companies about the tour I was interested in. Two of the companies I contacted didn't answer me at all. One of them was basically a chatbot that said "do it yourself." Only bookmundi had human agents to help.
