Camino Photo of the Day: Moulin de Tournefeuille

Despite appearances, this is not the ruins of Helm’s Deep. This is the remains of a mill that once spanned the canyon walls, providing not only flour but also an outer defence for the town of Rocamadour to the north. The Camino path actually goes through the ruins, as there is no way past except through. This is where I met up with Dominique again – I think you can just see her in the entrance to the ruins.

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.
