We took our time in the morning to visit the former monastery which was badly damaged in the Huguenot Wars (1562-1598) and never recovered. Half of the abbey church is still used as a parish church and the chancel has undergone an impressive renovation in recent years. In the whole place you can feel

The road between LIVINHAC-LE-HAUT and FIGEAC passes through a series of beautiful places : MONTREDON, SAINT-FELIX, SAINT-JEAN-MIRABEL. The landscape gently transitions from the rough ROUERGUE to the gentle QUERCY. Sand-lime brick is the most common building material in house construction. The houses

From Estaing and its castle, which has belonged to the family of former French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing for almost 700 years, our path leads in the shade of oak forests first along the Lot and then up to an extensive plateau with a fantastic view. At a distance of about 60 km as the crow flies

We had recovered very well in the monastery and wanted to continue our pilgrimage today. The morning service was therefore also our pilgrim mass. After breakfast we wanted to say goodbye and do our part for the generous reception.
However, at first we couldn't find anyone to whom we could have handed

After the complete exhaustion of the previous day, a rest day was indicated. We had been assigned a princely room in the monastery. The double bed, framed in white and gold, was richly decorated with tapestry embroidery in the headboard and footboard and can probably be attributed to 18th-century France

Our hostel from the day before, the Gite d'Etape Quatre Vents, is at an altitude of 1150 m and represents the gateway to the huge raised moor plains of the AUBRAC. We hiked all day through this unique moor landscape, which is just as harsh, beautiful and is overwhelming like the Scottish Highlands. Swamp

The AUBRAC is about 20 km after LE-PUY-EN-VELAY. The AUBRAC is an approximately 150 km long low mountain range in the Massif Central, which rises up to 1340 m and has been severely worn down by erosion and the ice age. In the center it has huge plateau areas with high moors that are reminiscent of the

In the afternoon, a visit to the cathedral

After a super good night's sleep, we were woken up by a serenade from the AMORBACH STADTKAPELLE. In Franconia it is a good custom in many places on May 1st to get people in the mood for the month of May with a musical wake-up call.
After a breakfast that left nothing to be desired, we picked up our light
