Camino Photo of the Day: A View of Saint-Côme-d’Olt

The Italians and I walked steadily over a variety of road surfaces and generally downwards towards today’s destination: the pretty little village of Saint-Côme-d’Olt. At one point we inexplicably had to climb uphill. The land transitioned into scattered woodland and pasture and finally full forest again as we resumed our descent into the valley of the Lot River. When we left the forest, we finally spotted the village in the valley below us. Naturally, we took the opportunity to take some photos. You can see the village on the right.

Maps!

If you’re the sort who looks at the maps, you’ll note that the stage shown is 32+km long. I split this up into two days, since I wanted to spend some time exploring both Saint-Chély-d’Aubrac and Saint-Côme-d’Olt, both of which are on the list of most beautiful villages in France.
