Chemin du Puy/Stage 11 of 29

Chemin du Puy · Stage 11 of 29

Livinhac-le-Haut to Figeac

The first real town since Le Puy, with about 10,500 people, a medieval centre and the Champollion museum. A good place for a rest day in a hotel. The Célé valley and Rocamadour variants both start here.

Good rest-day stop
