Magical…at these moments I give no thought to my tired feet.
Along the way today…
Toulouse may have always had the most pilgrim interest along the Arles Route to Santiago because of its numerous churches, convents, monasteries and hostelries/hospitals.
Cloisters, Convent Church of the Jacobins.

Flooded with light, it’s my favorite! The Convent Church of the Jocobins. Gothic in design, the supporting vaulted columns create a palm forest effect.

Cathedral Saint-Etienne, largely Gothic
Dining in silence, the universal language. One doesn’t talk while dining at a monastery.
Even as quiet as a long walk may be, respite at an Abbey brings welcomed silence.
Compromise. Jean-Claude does not like to walk in cities. Our Gîte is outside Castres. Tomorrow we will take a bus through Castres.
I dropped off my pack at the Gîte and went exploring Castres to connected by foot our Gîte and the termination point for our tomorrow’s bus ride.
Win-win. Jean-Claude avoids walking in the city. I walked the whole Camino.
Never any people to be seen on afternoon strolls through villages other then other pilgrims; all be it, the few five we are.
Tall. Powerful.
