Camino Photo of the Day: the Honoured Dead of Aubrac

At eight in the morning the little village of Aubrac was a bit of a bust. The food truck café was closed, the church was closed, and the proper restaurant/café was closed. Across the plaza, I stopped a moment at this monument honouring the memories of those from the village who had died in the Great War. Nearly every village, town, and city I passed through in France had a similar monument.

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.
