Conques, 6 March 2016

Present at abbey's mass, I was invited to eat with the brothers and I played Greensleeves on the accordion.

Tuesday, 8 March 2016: it's the big departure. I leave Laval de Cère a small village in the north of the Lot. Today is the day of the woman, a beautiful coincidence. I take the GR 652 direction Rocamadour. The same evening the rain chases the good weather of the day and the next day I run 20 km under the water. Between a few drops, I visit Cornac an artist village, unfortunately everything is closed like many places before Easter.

I continue my way through Castelnau, a beautiful fortress.

Urban art on a farm :

After a cold night next to Autoir, I have to go back on the Causse and there the height difference starts to be interesting, the way climbs directly to a English fortress almost located at the very top, it is also possible to see by a path the cascade descending from the causse.

Loubressac, a typical town :

L'Hospitalet

Just after Rocamadour: view from the Rock of the Eagles

The city sanctuary :
