Borrowed from Komoot bike adventurers Barbara 🕊️Andreas. “This little church with its pilgrim hall is a wonderful surprise! Upon entering, the light comes on and soothing music fills the room! After the music ended, we ourselves enjoyed the magical acoustics while singing The songs of Taizé...! At the entrance, on the right, there is a rest room for pilgrims and clean toilets outside in the courtyard. Pilgrims are rarely spoiled like that! Thanks !"

A nice spot on the bike path with a water fountain and a picnic bench for a snack.

An old church in the village of Gailleres. There is a garden next to it, which is a perfect place for a break.
