Sunflowers




Cahors - Lascabanes (373km)
Chambre D'Hotes Francois Bessiers

The morning began by crossing the fabulous bridge at Cahors. After a bit too long on roads we finally entered beautiful farm land covered in sunflower fields.

Lascabanes has a mass for pilgrims every day where the Priest washes the feet of all the Pilgrims. It is a wonderful little town that once had several stores, but now it doesn't even have one.

We ate dinner outside at a long table looking out over the mellon and sunflower fields.

A Pilgrim's Welcome



Mas de Ver - Cahors (350km)
Chez Pierre
Crossing the bridge into Cahors we were welcomed by volunteer ladies manning an old tax collection hut on the new bridge. They gave us drinks and cookies while they called around to find us a Gite.
Cahors is a wonderful maze of tightly knit streets in the Medieval core.
