Langogne to Luc May 17th ’25

What a day for walking… We started on pavement getting out of Langogne, then onto gravel. It was a pretty steep climb out of Langogne. Throughout the day a mix of gravel and earth trails. Less road walking today than yesterday,  more walking by fields and through forest. Oof, then a steep decline, picking our way through rocks, to Luc.

Just before that steep decline, we came upon the remains of a chateau. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote about having a meal there in 1878. He was served an excellent repast by an old woman in a veil. I think he ate some mushrooms…

No one is dining here now.
Mary atop the dungeon. Something ironic about that.
We were able to enter the dungeon via the door you see above,  under the bell. Then climbed the stairs up to the parapet at the base of the Virgin. The wind was fierce. The view of Luc, wonderful.

Luc is the first small town we’ve stayed in on this route that I really like.

A bowery walk

We had a short walk today, made even shorter when we found a shortcut on the map – cut off about a mile. Plus it was a nicer route through woods and not on the road.

À demain
