Camino Photo of the Day: Closed Doors

On the way out of Figeac, I attempted to visit the church of Saint Thomas, but it was locked up tight. This was one of the few locked churches I encountered in France. After this, it was much easier to find the route markings, which was just as well because I had run off the edge of the paper map I got from the tourism office the day before. In no time at all, the Camino made a sudden transition from urban to rural.

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.
