Penultimate Ultimate

Day 17 - Friday, 11 October 2024 - Cabrerets to Vers. ~10 klms, total ~334.3 klms., plus ~20klms by bus.

There is way too much to tell about today. It was our penultimate walking day, and I think the ultimate day in terms of the experience.

I'm just not going to have time to write today up, so this'll be a bullet-point highlight summary:

1. Grotte de Pech Merle

2. The Train Bridge

3. The River Lot Tow Path

4. Saint-Cirq-Lapopie

5. La Truite Doree

Each deserves their own detailed story, and as I said time is agin me. So, as a teaser, here's a photo from each:

1. Grotte de Pech Merle

Photos were not allowed inside the cave, so the one below is from the accompanying museum.

2. The Train Bridge

3. River Lot Tow Path

4. Saint-Cirq-Lapopie

Reported to be France's prettiest town.

5. Hotel Restaurant La Truite Dorée

Best accommodation we've had.

I'll write each of these up in detail later. In the meantime, the above will need to suffice.

This day was the highlight of the last 17. For those of you out there in Podiensis world, walk this day if nothing else.
