It would be fun to walk this pilgrim path again and stay here. But it is too early in the day to stop this time. So lovely walking through the vineyards.

Walk to Lectoure, France, 15 miles
Lectoure is a medieval hilltop town, built for defense.
Charming and beautiful and well preserved. The trail rolls through the cornfields, vineyards, sunflower fields. It was good and hot and humid today. The gite is for pilgrims only and opened at three pm, so I took it easy on the steep uphill into town. My dormitory room had big windows with great views. A former nursing home, Now a wonderful welcome to hot, tired pilgrims.

The chicken was a regional dish and was the only time I have had it. Really good grub and we sat looking out over the meadow in front of the home.

Chicken collection in Massif, France.
This huge building was an run down old barn a few years ago. The family reconstructed it into a lovely gite, or inn, for pilgrims. They are great cooks, have a lovely garden for us to sit in, and so hospitable.
One great thing the pilgrims do is bring opportunities for restoration of old farm buildings and new income for farm families. It is a privilege to be a part of it.
This is a beautiful way to experience France.
