Camino Photo of the Day: the Road to Rocamadour

For the next few days (through the Thanksgiving break), I’ll be posting some of the spectacular views from Rocamadour. Far below the ramparts of the Sanctuary district, the highway to Rocamadour climbs the hill to eventually meet up with the main road into the medieval city. You can just about see one of the switchbacks down below.

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.
