day 7 - sq cirq to albi

The day starts by crossing the river and follows the southern bank for a couple of kilometres before climbing on an empty road into some wooded hills. Around Limogne (12K in) the countryside opens up into farmland. The roads continue to be empty and perfect for cycling. The villages are however very small and the supply of cafes and restaurants is very limited. From around Parisot (30K) the roads get a little bigger, but still very quiet by most standards, and we start going downhill. We pass Beaulieu-en-Rouergue abbey on the D33 before Verfeil.
