Camino Photo of the Day: a Last Hurrah

After walking the Way of the Cross, I returned to the sanctuary of the Black Virgin to find Vespers already underway. I joined in with many other pilgrims there. Afterwards, we prayed the Angelus, and then the priest gave us all a blessing, as well as a holy card with the Memorare in French and a medal depicting Our Lady of Rocamadour.

And then a number of us had a sort of farewell dinner, as for many of the pilgrims I have met, Rocamadour is their final pilgrimage destination. From left: Bruno, Ávila, Adeline, Paul, me

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.
