April 28, 2022,Via podiensis, Tag 8: Von Montcuq nach Lauzerte

Today's 8th stage was again not very long, but had some strenuous climbs to offer. The weather was overcast, ideal hiking weather. In the Gite L'Abeille Lulu we were warmly welcomed with a 2-bed room and in the late afternoon there was coffee and crepes for the pilgrims. Then a tour of the picturesque town.
