Granalou

The weather was misty but not raining this morning and it became sunny in the afternoon. The path was longish (24km) but mostly flat:
Several people are walking from Figeac to Cahors, which is about 80km. This is very practical because they are both large villages/towns and there is a railway station in both. I hope to arrive at Cahors on Thursday. 

I am staying at a small gite which is coveted with paintings by the artist who owns it:
It is getting towards the end of the season. I was told just now that the peak for this part of the Camino is April to June and many gites will close this week.
However I have met some people who are still planning to get to Samtsgo, arriving at the end of November or in December.

  1. Where do you intend to stop your pilgrimage? I hope you don't run out of open gites before you run out of road, otherwise you may need to reacquaint yourself with Matthew Talbot before you get home. Regards, Chris.

  2. The long and winding road to Samtsgo ? Arriving in November or December 20.. ! Troubles with the wine or too much mist in France ?
