21.9 miles (35.245 kilometers). That’s what I walked today. That includes a couple of diversions so I think I could’ve done it with maybe 31 km according to some of the references on the chemin.
I ended up having to walk an extra long hike because I wasn’t able to get a place to stay in Sauvalaude. I walked through this little town today. It had a beautiful church and basically two quirky little gîtes. There was one place called the Grand Saule but I think maybe it was closed for the holiday
Anyway, I ended up walking.to Navarrenx. It bills itself as the first bastides (fortress planned city in France). We have passed at least at least three bastides cities (1) Lauzerte, (2) La Romieu, and (3) Montréal-du-Gers. The cities look different for several reasons. The walls tend to be in geometric shapes. The streets are laid out in grids.
I’m looking forward to exploring Navarrenx a little bit more tomorrow.
I had a nice mass tonight. Nice little choir singing. And a couple were celebrating the anniversary of their marriage vows.Læs mere
