Montcuq-please pronounce the -q-

[scruffy1]

Just starting to plan my way along the Le Puy Camino for next spring and I have so much to learn! Montcuq is found 30 kilometers and a bit beyond Cahors - the St Hilaire church in Montcuq has some interesting frescoes but the finer ones are said to be found in the hamlet of Rouilhac or Rouillac some 3 kilometers beyond. Does anyone know if the camino goes through Rouilhac/Rouillac or is it time for a short diversion? ? Has anyone seen the fresoes? One last question what might the Servat lavender distillery be?

A lavender distillery would turn dried lavender flowers into liquid essence for use in perfumes, soaps, flavorings etc.

Don't the French elide all the consonants? :twisted: That would pretty much leave the "M" and some vowels. It is like the "shire" in all those English place names - spelled but ignored. It must be my tin ear.

Very true Falcon -however - here if not pronounced the word becomes French slang for that part of the anatomy upon which one usually sits.
