[KiwiNomad06]

I just came across this video on YouTube- has some beautiful photos of the route from Le Puy en Velay to Cahors- including some striking ones in Conques.

Thanks, Margaret.
That was an excellent video.

I've spent many years seeing such places in imagination or in illustrations. Now I have to remind myself that I was there, in Estaing and Conques, and that I was able to ramble and linger to my heart's content. Just last year. And this year I stood in Leon's cathedral and atop O Cebreiro in snow!

Sometimes, against statistics, figuring and all likelihood, you get what you want. More things in heaven and earth etc? (I could mention a certain rugby result to prove my point.)

Anyway, Nomad, great link.

What a stunning video, thank you. Has anyone any idea of the time of year it was taken?

It must be well into spring- perhaps mid-May? The trees have that lighter green colour of spring, and near the end you can see fields that look ploughed ready for crops to be planted. I can see an abundance of daffodils on the Aubrac Plateau, and the cows are out in the fields. When I walked in this region mid-April to early May, it was much more wintry on the Aubrac Plateau, and there were only a few daffodils out, and no cows in the fields.

Thanks a lot for pointing this out. It brings back great memories.
