Description Since we first arrived in France I knew this existed and my first French friend took me to visit. Pretty hard to find.
Actually very sad because it is in a very poor state.
Their are many routes for the walk to Santiago Compostella the shell reminds pilgrims they are on the correct route.
This one was beside a huge Roman encampment.
Provided water for people.

Thank you for any Fav's or comments.

I am afraid many such "treasures" are abandoned or in a state of disrepair.... Nobody wants to pay for their upkeep or is prepared to do it "for charity"... what a world!!!

I did it two years ago, I went to the Puy en Velay and I stopped in Moissac, because my dog was wounded in the leg!
I knew not what to do, so I made this hike ... but really nice to do, beautiful scenery!

Ohhhh....how sad.
Moissac.....I know the name??????
I think it would be incredible to do this walk but it looks so crowded now!

Ikonokl4st In reply to jennystokes [2016-06-19 19:55:35 +0000 UTC]

Yes, Moissac is inΒ Tarn-et-Garonne...
Best to do it from May to June, there are fewer people and more enjoyable! But its incredible to do...
