Camino Photo of the Day: Église Saint-Eutrope de Thémines

As I said yesterday, Paul obtained the key to the village church for us to visit. It looks quite unassuming on the outside, almost run-down. But on the inside, the sanctuary is a neoclassical marvel – a total surprise when you enter the doors. Quite moving and affecting, I think because of that surprise. While the church clearly needs some restoration work, as you will see when I post some additional photos next week, this is a place of great beauty and serenity.

Maps!

The site I’ve been using for my daily maps, Gronze.com, while otherwise great, unfortunately doesn’t have maps for this variant. So here’s a map from my book Practical Pilgrimage showing the entirety of the three main variants and larger sub-variants. I walked the GR6 from Figeac to Rocamadour and the GR46 on to Cahors.
