Camino Photo of the Day: Cahors Saint Joan
The cathedral’s altar to Saint Joan of Arc obviously belongs to the early 20th century. The names of Cahor’s honoured dead from the First World War form the background to the saint. Throughout southern France, I found a chapel, or at least a statue, of Saint Joan in nearly every church. Joan, of course, was one of Francine’s favourite saints.

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.
