GR®62

From Conques (Aveyron) to Roque-Rouge (Gard)

Conques, famous for its abbey, prospered thanks to its role on the Way of St. James (Camino de Santiago) and is a living testament to Christian history. The route passes through the Grands Causses Regional Natural Park with its vast open spaces and rock formations. This region has preserved numerous traces of human history, including typical villages, Romanesque churches, dolmens, and menhirs. Pastoral traditions are deeply rooted in the daily lives of the inhabitants, and sheep farming, particularly of the Merino breed, is ubiquitous. This has led to the production of high-quality local products, such as Roquefort cheese. Many animal species inhabit the area, some of which are protected, such as the griffon vulture and the bearded vulture.
