Breakfast is already served at the monastery at 6:45 am as Cahors is on the way and I want to continue further. It will be an eventful day.

I am making good progress and after a few kilometers, I meet Gabriele, who we met a few days ago and is also on her way to Santiago.
We walk together for a long time, brave the two-hour rain, and explore Cahors together.

Cahors
The golden age of Cahors was in the Middle Ages when it was one of the largest trading cities in France.
Today, the outstanding landmarks are the Cathedral St-Étienne, which began construction in the 11th century and was modeled after Byzantine dome churches, as well as the Pont Valentré, which has been drawing pilgrims out of the city since the 15th century.

Unfortunately, I cannot follow Cordula's recommendation to try the excellent red wine from Cahors as I will be walking another 15 km, and at the end of the day, it will be a challenging 44 km.
There are even steeper stairs than in Conques

I arrive in Lhospitalet after 6 pm and dinner is already waiting for me.
