Started today at 7 am and went for it, with the question in the background, how do 40 degrees feel. It was quite warm early on. I quite liked the landscape today. It was a bit hillier. Cahors could then be seen in the distance. A touching moment, but also a relief to be at the destination and to endure

Less spectacular stage. It goes through forest, along meadows and along the typical stone walls. The temperature rose a little more, but I reached the destination early. Tomorrow the last tour to Cahors is scheduled.
Today I am in Le Pech at Sylvie's.

This morning I was up early, had breakfast and set off around 6:30 am. The morning atmosphere over Saint-Cirq-Lapopie was wonderful. The route was not particularly spectacular today. Lots of forest and mostly forest paths. I took a break in Concots. There are places to eat and a bakery. Shortly before

This morning I missed the entrance to the GR and therefore walked along the road to Sauliac-sur-Célé. Back on the right path, it soon went breathtakingly along a rock face. Behind Sauliac I then encountered a herd of wild boars, which followed their flight instinct. Already around 10 am it got quite

This morning it was a bit cloudy. The sun only came out around 11 am. It went up and down again, a lot over paths, there were also a few quiet roads. The highlight today is the pool at the campsite. Just the thing in this heat.

Shortly after 7 a.m. I set off today. In the morning, despite the high temperatures during the day, it is still quite fresh. It's a pleasant, gentle up and down through the forest until Espagnac Sainte-Eulalie. The trees are beautifully mossy. The church at the priory in Espagnac was closed. Then it

This morning I started early, as it's getting very hot right now. In Mas de la Crox I left the Via Podiensis (GR 65) and am now on the GR 651 Voie du Célé. Let's see what the path brings. People rave about it a lot.

Today I went as a tourist by bus from Figeac to Rocamadour, a much-visited pilgrimage site. The bus runs in June and September on weekends, in July and August daily, and stops at the castle. I was the only passenger. Rocamadour is divided into 3 levels. The castle is at the very top. The view from there

Today I set off early to escape the heat. The landscape became flatter, with only gentle hills to climb. It was less spectacular scenically, but the destination Figeac, located on the Célé, made up for it.

From Decazeville, the path led over the mountain to Livinhac le Haut. There, in front of the town hall and the church, I took my first break and bought the remaining provisions for this evening. I also took another break in Mondredon and chatted with a Frenchman in French and German.
Today I am alone

This morning we went down to the Pilgerbrücke and then followed a long hard climb. At the top, a great panorama opened up. The weather is fantastic. Sun and lots of beautiful clouds and wind.

Today was a bit of sightseeing. I went to the abbey church again and visited the treasury and the museum. The town center is beautiful. The old cobblestones and the houses, like in the Middle Ages. Also, hardly any cars drive and park there. In the afternoon, I went down into the valley and back uphill

Right in the morning, I was rewarded with a particularly beautiful sky. In terms of the path, it went uphill again at first, and I started sweating right away due to the humidity. Overall, today was more downhill and quite steep at the end. Now I am in Conques, which also belongs to the most beautiful

Morning round to the Pont de Valentré, the city's landmark, and up to Mont Saint-Cyr, from which you have a great view of the city.
