Camino Photo of the Day: Gate on the Aubrac

Although we saw several different kinds, this was the most common sort of cattle gate. The shell gives it a nice distinctive look. The Camino cuts through many cattle pastures on the Aubrac plateau, so we passed though a large number of gates and other clever ways to keep cows in the correct places and off the roads.

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.
