Moissac lies on the Tarn, and you’ll arrive with heavy legs. No surprise, as you’ve walked about 27 kilometres. Looking back, it was a day of hills: constantly up and down again, with no real peaks.
Lauzerte, high on its hill, is behind you almost at once as you head downhill. After that come fields, fruit trees and little villages that you’re through in no time. The highest point is only 230 metres, but you descend more than you climb, and you’ll feel it in your knees. The day is hard mostly because it’s so long: well over 8 hours on the road. In Moissac you walk between old houses to the abbey, put down your rucksack and look up at the sculptures above the portal.
