We did not get an early start as we waited for our croissants and bread to arrive which we needed as it would be 20K before we passed a store. So at 8:15 we started our steep ascent out of Conques. We were thankful for a cool morning. Our first break was at the Chapelle Saint-Roch and we hadn't seen any other walkers in over an hour and it would be over 3 hours before we saw any. We did meet one older French woman along the way that said we could not pass until we paid but she was just kidding. It just took us a few extra minutes to put it all together with the language difference. Next we stopped to let the guy herding his cattle go by. After noon we made it to a town and were lucky to find a store open on Sunday, so we purchased some cheese to put on our bread and some fruit and yogurt. We had a nice picnic and break and were off to finish our walk and found our sweet country home. Our dinner this night featured a regional specialty of a casserole with Stockfish (salt cod), potatoes, and creme fraiche. Tres magnifique!
Gite Chambre d'hôtes La Mariotte very nice, clean, no bunk beds, great dinner. Very friendly and nice owners.
