April 20, 2024 Before departing Limogne-en-Quercy, we stopped by a local grocery to pick up some snacks. This was the first “supermarket” we had encountered on our journey since leaving Le Puy-en-Velay. I had gotten used to – and loved! – the quaint “épiceries”… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Limogne-en-Quercy to Bach”
April 19, 2023 Today was a picture perfect blue-sky day!! I started off the day walking for a short while along the Lot River. The walk from Cajarc to Limogne en Quercy alternates between lightly traveled paved backroads and dirt paths. It passes through… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Cajarc to Limogne-en-Quercy”
April 18, 2023 Before departing Béduer today, our host kindly showed us an alternate path that would be a short-cut back to the GR65 heading towards Cajarc. This meant we would not have to back-track and would save us a few “steps.” Our walk… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Béduer to Cajarc”
April 17, 2023 Today, our walk between Figeac and Béduer would be a short walk – only 12 kilometers or close to 7.5 miles. The weather is clear and sunny. It’s interesting to note there is a popular alternate route that leaves Figeac called… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Figeac to Béduer”
April 16, 2023 Leaving Le Terly, it would be a shortish walk to our destination of Figeac – about 11 kilometers. Piece of cake!! The weather gods delivered us a nice day for our hike – sunny, blue skies! The first small hamlet we… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Le Terly to Figeac”
April 15, 2023 After some cold, damp days, the weather took a more positive turn! It was sunny for most of our 18 kilometer walk today, albeit a tad windy and cool. But – oh, the sun!! 🙂 We left Vivioles bright and early… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Vivioles to Le Terly”
April 13 and 14, 2023 Conques is a medieval town renowned for its preserved Romanesque architecture and art. The town is built on a steep hill and most of the streets are paved in cobblestones. The wet weather made walking in town more treacherous… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Conques to Vivioles”
April 13, 2023 My room at the Hôtel La Bastide d’Olt was ready shortly after finishing up my beer in the bar. At around 54 euros each for the “demi-pension”, this place was a real bargain. Our room was actually on 2 levels – one main… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Golinhac to Conques”
April 11 and April 12, 2023 As I continued my walk along the Lot River towards Estaing, the picturesque city exploded into view with the 15th-century Château d’Estaing rising up above the other buildings – taking center stage. As I approached the bridge that crosses… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Estaing to Golinhac”
April 11, 2023 Today’s walk to the picturesque village of Estaing was by far my favorite day since the beginning of the journey. It would also prove to be the longest – clocking in at 21.5 kilometers. The weather started out cloudy with a… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Saint-Côme d’Olt to Estaing”
