Today I went as a tourist by bus from Figeac to Rocamadour, a much-visited pilgrimage site. The bus runs in June and September on weekends, in July and August daily, and stops at the castle. I was the only passenger. Rocamadour is divided into 3 levels. The castle is at the very top. The view from there is great, but …

What a wonderful place! The Black Madonna on the altar of the Chapelle Notre Dame and its miraculous bell survived both the Hundred Years' War and the Huguenot Wars. It stands in the ancient pilgrimage site of Rocamandour, high above the Alzou Valley. The site appears to have been hewn directly from the steep limestone cliff. From the village on …

Rocamadour is a very interesting, historic town on a steep slope with many beautiful shops and restaurants. Rocamadour is also a place of pilgrimage for the Roman Catholic Church and accordingly attracts many pilgrims. The name comes from Saint Amadour, a hermit who found refuge here at the foot of a steep rock.

I myself have shortened this tour a lot due to the weather.
If you want to get into the city, you have two options: on foot or by small train, which is very popular with tourists.
Rocamadour is a work of art in itself. Capturing this place on and in rock on a palette, watching the hurried tourist shopping, all …
