サンプロジェの天然記念物・トップ4

ここからは、渓谷、そして何よりも、岩の上に急峻に建てられた（高さ150m）教会や礼拝堂のある中世の村の最高の眺めが楽しめます。 ロカマドゥールは多くの巡礼者が訪れる聖地であり、聖アマドゥールの遺物と木製の黒い聖母（12世紀）が安置されています。 唯一の賑やかな通りであるRue de la Couronnerie沿いには、多くの店やレストランがあります。 周辺には駐車場がたくさんあるため、夏の月は非常に混雑するでしょう。

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.

For us, it is the most beautiful cave in the region. You feel like you can get really close to it, it is not so crowded and not so touristy. Click here to book online https://www.pechmerle.com https://maps.app.goo.gl/CERX37P31eMHTg8W6?g_st=ic

Great viewpoints along the walk

Along the promenade de la corniche is a pretty viewpoint over the village of Rocamadour. This pretty belvedere allows you to appreciate the composition and the different levels of the medieval village.

Beautiful stream meandering through the karst landscape with unpaved banks. Dragonflies en masse, leads to a mediaeval, still functioning mill worth seeing.

Shortly after Lacave, on the road to the Ouysse gorges, you'll find some lovely waterfalls. Surrounded by cliffs and meadows, the area could be the perfect spot for a night camping, lulled by the sound of the waterfalls.
