Let's walk the Via Podiensis together! Whereas many of the pilgrim interviews on the podcast take a thematic approach, focusing on a few big picture issues, this series of episodes will dig more into the specifics of walking. In this fifth episode in the series, we find ourselves back in Figeac, for the second of three route options leading pilgrims onward to Cahors, the Rocamadour route. And as the name implies, this variant features one of France's most famous and spectacular pilgrimage shrines, clinging to a cliff overlooking the Alzou Gorge. Prolific pilgrims Sean Morton and Sonya Richmond of Ontario, Canada (comewalkwithus.online) share their experiences from the route, and are then followed by Dr. Deana Weibel (deanaweibel.space), author of A Sacred Vertigo: Pilgrimage and Tourism in Rocamadour, France, who discusses the sacred site.
