From the Back Cover

Beds like "black holes", open plan toilets, closed churches and inquisitive gendarmes were all encountered on this pilgrimage through France.
In may 1993, Richard Thornburgh, an Anglican priest from the Beaminster Team in Dorset, set out to walk the 395 miles from St. Malo on the Channel coast to the mediaeval shrine of Rocamadour, south of the Dordogne river. Avoiding all major towns, his route took him through rural France and its small communities, and into a variety of overnight accommodation. This journal documents the walk, the scenery strange nocturnal visitors and the the menus - especially the menus! For anyone wanting armchair travel on a wet summer's evening, here's the book. Tramp the by-ways of rance, sniff the strange assortment of aromas in hotel bedrooms, discover ancient places of worship hidden away from the normal tourist track, and enter into the heart of the destination, the Chapel of the Black Virgin, Notre Dame de Rocamadour.
