From here, you have the best view of the gorge and, above all, the medieval village, built steeply into the cliffs (150 m high), with its churches and chapels. Rocamadour is a very popular pilgrimage site and houses the relics of Saint Amadour and the wooden Black Madonna (12th century). Many shops and restaurants are located along Rue de la Couronnerie, the only and bustling street. There are plenty of parking spaces in the area, so it will be busy during the summer months.

In a word: breathtaking. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to these caves. The Padirac Gorge is without a doubt the most beautiful in France, and its dimensions are extraordinary. Another great feature is that the cave tour is narrated with an audio guide (in your own language). During the tour, a boatman will be waiting for you for a small boat trip through the caves. Plenty to admire: Giant limestone concretions, underground lakes, incredible serpentine sculptures, impressive stalactites and stalagmites. The only downside (as far as I'm concerned): it's very touristy. Tip: combine a visit to the caves with a visit to Racomadour (the city in the rocks).

The Ouysse is a river that flows underground for most of its course. It reaches Lacave through the deep canyons carved along its path. As you follow its path towards Rocamadour, you'll find yourself caught between the cliffs that form its canyon. Old fortified mills mark the route, sometimes clinging to the rocks of the cliffs.

Two aspects are significant for this very important pilgrimage site in France. The story of its foundation with the discovery of the non-decayed body of the hermit Armadour / Amoureux / Lovers and La Vierge Noir / the Black Madonna, a simple wooden statue from the 12th century. —— RELIQUARY OF SAINT AMADOUR On August 25, 2016, on the eve of the Solemnity of Saint Amadour, founder of the sanctuary, the relics of the saint were unveiled in this new reliquary by Bishop Laurent Camiade (Bishop of Cahors-Rocamadour). In 1166, the life of the sanctuary was shaken by a major event, a perfectly preserved body was found in the hollow of the rock. Tradition would give it a name: Amadour (The Lover). He is described as the founder of the sanctuary, the hermit who is said to have carved the first statue of N-D de Rambadour, who created Rocamadour. Tradition also links him to the biblical figure of Zacchaeus the tax collector. The body of the saint was venerated in the crypt of St. Amadour until 1562, when it was dismembered by the Huguenots. His remains are housed in this reliquary, consecrated in 2016 on the occasion of the 8th anniversary of the discovery of the body.
