Cassell

Our next stop, June 30th, was Toulouse, where we had more Marriott free nights. We were in no hurry and were apt to stop at anything of interest. Not far out of Cahors, we had one of those "what was that?!" moments and turned around to investigate a curious structure just off the road.

A stone, circular, corballed structure...of which we've seen a few...
in France, Turkey, maybe Ireland...ranging in age from neolithic to
modern


Mind your head

The exquisite corballed vaulting; no mortar here, just stone on
stone on stone...rising angularly, 360 degrees, 12 feet or so

Well, it was part of the national park, constructed
in the 1850s, part of nearby farm, perhaps a shepherd's
hut


Still impressive; very impressive

And, no doubt, of interest and use to peregrins 
passing this way
