Have you walked the Camino de Santiago?
How about extending the experience by welcoming pilgrims to the Vaylats Convent? All you need is to have walked the Camino de Santiago yourself. A wonderful way to share what the Camino has given you and to keep its spirit alive.
On the Via Podiensis - GR65
Welcome, pilgrim friend,
For centuries, pilgrims travelling to Compostela have found refuge in the convents and monasteries lining the route. The Couvent de Vaylats continues this beautiful tradition of hospitality and welcomes you warmly and kindly.
Located on the Via Podiensis (GR65), our convent offers you the ideal stop to recharge your batteries before continuing your journey, both physical and spiritual.

"The path is not just what we travel with our feet; it is also what we go through with our hearts."
— Proverb of the pilgrims of Compostela
Is the gîte open all year round or only during the hiking season?
To accompany walkers on the St James's Way, our pilgrim lodge opens its doors during the hiking season, from 1 April to 31 October. Although we are not open all year round, this period covers the vast majority of pilgrims on the Via Podiensis route (from Le Puy-en-Velay to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port). Whether you are at the start of your journey or on your way to Galicia, the Convent is an essential stop on the route in the heart of Quercy.
