Sur les pas de Pierre Soulages - GR62 de Rodez à Conques
5-stop star holiday from Rodez to Conques with accommodation at Pont-les-Bains
Groups of 8 to 25 people
Duration 7 days / 6 nights
The work of contemporary painter Pierre Soulages is rooted in the landscapes of Rouergue and the traces left by mankind, from prehistory to Romanesque art.
From the museum dedicated to him in Rodez, his birthplace, to the abbey church in Conques, for which he designed 104 stained-glass windows, this route is an invitation to grasp his sources of emotion and inspiration.
An initiatory journey through the vast expanses of the Causse Comtal, the laughing valley of Marcillac and the wild, rocky ridges of the Ségala de Conques.
