Camino Photo of the Day: Église de l’Assomption-de-la-Sainte-Vierge de Lacapelle-Marival

Next we stopped in the Church of the Assumption in Lacapelle-Marival. This little Gothic jewel only dates to 1575, when it was built on the site of an earlier Romanesque chapel, dating probably to the 12th century. The church was extensively remodelled in the 19th century. I think the stained glass dates from that time. Just as I was finishing Vespers, a Mass broke out. More on that tomorrow.

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.
