Limonge-en-Quercy to Vaylats
15 km today - 321 km to date

This is my shortest day, just 15 km, to a real working monastery.  So no rush.

Again I follow the road, first to Vairire.  I stop at the shop for some fruit and a pinwheel pastry and ask the lass to ring ahead for me.  At the next village I stop for the open church.

I reach Vaylats just after noon.  As the gite office in the monastery opens at 14th I find an outdoor table at a nearby bar and settle in for a short siege.

Mass is at 17h30 followed by the community singing Vespers. Dinner at 7 pm is good with about 20 pilgrims.

And so to bed.
