Camino Photo of the Day: Sailing away on a Song

I mentioned yesterday that the organ in the Basilica of the Holy Saviour in Rocamadour is shaped like a ship. Well, here it is. You can see the wooden hull under the pipes, and the designs in the frame are meant to suggest sails. I can almost see it if I squint. You can also see that the back wall of the basilica is just the cliff face.

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.
