As Petite dejeuner goes, today's was pretty nice with croissants and yogurt. Afterwards, we stepped outside and started straight up. Bypassed the famous Peche Merle caves as they were not open and put some kilometers behind us. Took a side trip (basically an out and back) on the Chemin De Halag to the mountain village of St. Cirq Lapopie, dubbed the most beautiful town in France. We found it to be very picturesque. We wandered for a bit and took in the views. Found a place to rest and get coffee. We procured a wonderful picnic with salad, cheese, fruit and a pastry. Of course we had bread, leftover from breakfast. After our repas, we had the choice to take the busy road or stay on a GR path that was to be only 3k longer. We chose the path and it turned out to be diverse with some nice river trails but had a very tough uphill section. We eventually arrived in Pasturats. Staying at a very "complete" Gite. Had another great community meal (soup, pork, rice, fromage, tart) where we ate with some Australian folks, one of which identified Joan from the Camino forums.
Gite d'etape Le Relais de Patsurat: very good. Great people and dinner. Eclectic little house out back of their own house
