[QUOTE="WalkingInGers, post: 1130314, member: 105099"] My Gosh…first experience in walking in a deluge. I was happy to leave OLORON-SAINTE-MARIE and hope it’s the last time that I go there. Walking from the SNCF railroad station to Sainte Croix located above OLORON-SAINTE-MARIE was interesting as after the steps leading to the other cathedral, it’s basically moderately uphill especially when the rain blows in your face. Got lost and stopped to talk to various people, a lady at the dump, a man on a Club Cadet tractor mower and people in ESCOT. The number of crosses in this area is impressive, especially the wooden ones. I have been wondering whether to talk about those crosses and the people who erected them however this is the type of post that could be misconstrued. The story is about « a lost people » who live here in Southwestern France and northern Spain, a people who were considered lepers and placed in leprosies under such names as Saint Christou, etc Such discrimination existed that these people were obliged to go to mass using doors that were made for them Usually located on the sides of the churches. The church of Lurbe Saint Christou placed here is typical. Let me say that these people were called « cagots » . The shame that these people had to endure by entire villages, is amazing. Such was the discrimination that intermarriage was the norm since the Middle Ages. More on this later if interested… [/QUOTE]
