Rocamadour
2021-2024
As you drive to Rocamadour the view across the valley is spectacular.
The entrance to the Romanesque-Gothic Basilica of St-Sauveur is literally carved into the cliff face.
Rocamadour is a small clifftop village. It is reknown for the Cité Réligieuse complex of religious buildings, accessed via the Grand Escalier staircase.
The village is divided into three with the Chateau at the summit, the religious complex in the middle and the shops, homes and restaurants at the lowest level.
The Chapelle Notre-Dame, with its famed Black Madonna statue, and the Romanesque-Gothic Basilica of St-Sauveur.
