Day 26 – Moissac to Auvillar
The scenery was somewhat repetitive, but the path was wonderfully flat. I can’t tell you what a relief that was for us. Steep climbs have been the daily norm since our first day out of Le Puy and have caused us to rack up a whopping 34,235 feet of ascent (along with some pretty tired feet).

Day 27 – Auvillar to Miradoux
A stop for lunch in the tiny village of Flamarens allowed us a peek at the Château de Flamarens, pictured above. The château was built and added on to from the 12th – 15th centuries. Neglected in the 20th century, it has now been partially restored and serves as a Bed & Breakfast for a lucky few. A French/Canadian couple we’ve become friendly with had the good fortune to stay there and sleep in the King’s Bedroom last night.
Day 28 – Miradoux to Lectoure
Acres and acres of sunflowers have lined the trail for the last few days, all past their prime and brown and droopy. How I wish we could have seen them all in full bloom.
Lectoure’s Cathédrale Saint-Gervais dates from 1488. Another incredible example of architecture and craftsmanship.
