Figeac to Grealou, 20km 10/02/22

Figeac was a very nice town, and I was booked at quite a nice restaurant for dinner. Seafood mix and everything was fresh and perfectly cooked. Hotel was comfortable and got a good nights sleep. The hotel owner, Slyvie, went to the trouble of getting some GF rolls for me for breakfast so that was nice. Got started around 8:45am and what was supposed to be a fairly level day was anything but. After 20 minutes or so outside of Figeac there was a climb of about 1,000 ft, that definitely got me warmed up. Otherwise this rolling countryside is pleasant, but deceptively high energy to walk, you are always going up or going down, even if not huge climbs or descents. Ended up that the pre booked, Gite, Gite de La Fontaine and was assigned a lovely gypsy type caravan as my quarters. This place is really rural with nothing nearby. Owners seem to be former pilgrims themselves.
