Camino Photo of the Day: Bruno on the Balcony

Eventually, Bruno, Ávila, Valentina, and Paul—my roommates from last night—finally arrived in Rocamadour. It was a short day, and they decided to leave late and dawdle. I might have done the same, but for the heat wave affecting France. From experience, I know how badly I do in the full heat of the day, so I left at my normal dawn-ish time and arrived very early. Anyway, here’s a photo of Bruno standing on the balcony overlooking the little plaza that contains the entrances to the various churches, chapels, and the basilica.

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.
