We left Conques early and the trek was a challenge. The descent through the village streets was slow because of the fog that made the cobble stones wet and slippery. According to the tourist office assistant (from Ontario) the town during the winter is a nightmare because of the black ice. We started our accent up the mountain soon after leaving town and the rock surface caused more difficulty for our trek. Our accent was slow because of the slippery rocks and as soon as we came to a road we detoured to the road rather than the path. The distance by road was a little longer, but much safer. And, as the sun rose the views of Conques were spectacular – with the fog lifting and the sun shining on the village. Decazeville, even though is a bigger town, it is not as beautiful as the other villages we've passed. Hence, unless something spectacular happens, there's not much to write about this town.
