Entraygues is prettily located on the confluence of the Rivers Lot and Truyere with a chateau situated right on the junction. We had a stroll round the town in the morning before moving on along an attractive road right by the river.

Then it was a turn southwards where we found an excellent country restaurant for a large, leisurely four course lunch.

The detour from the Lot was to visit Conques, a spectacular medieval village set in a deep valley with the huge abbey church of Sainte-Foy, a pilgrimage site, in its middle. The organ was being played in the high Romanesque arched interior of the church and it was all quite moving.

We retraced our route back to the Lot and continued to follow the river for another 50k to the pleasant rural campsite of Pech-Ibert outside the village Beduer.
