Camino Photo of the Day: the Road to Rocamadour
The Camino here goes through woods like this pretty much all the way. Those moss-covered stones on the right are what’s left of a wall possibly dating to medieval times. There would be more spectacular ruins as the morning progressed! The path begins in a relatively wide valley with a broad, if shallow, river to my left. Throughout the day, the valley narrowed until it became a canyon with steep stone sides.

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.
