The Journey
Rocamadour
Discover Rocamadour, a breathtaking village clinging to a cliffside above the Alzou canyon. This UNESCO World Heritage site draws pilgrims and travelers alike to its sacred Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a complex of chapels built into the rock face. Ascend the Grand Staircase, traditionally climbed on knees, and explore the chapels, including the Notre Dame Chapel, home to the revered Black Madonna. Legend intertwines with history here, as you seek out the legendary sword Durandal, said to have been hurled by Roland into the cliffside. Rocamadour offers not only stunning views but a profound sense of history and spiritual significance.
Notre Dame Chapel (Rocamadour)
Step into the Notre Dame Chapel, the heart of Rocamadour's sanctuary. This 13th-century chapel houses the Black Madonna, a magnificent 12th-century walnut carving credited with countless miracles. Marvel at the ship models suspended from the ceiling, tokens of gratitude from sailors saved at sea. Admire the 12th-century frescoes depicting the Annunciation and Visitation, testaments to the chapel's enduring spiritual significance. Experience the palpable sense of reverence and history within this sacred space.
Saint-Cirq-Lapopie
Explore Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, officially named one of the 'Most Beautiful Villages in France,' perched dramatically on a cliff 100 meters above the Lot River. Wander through its remarkably preserved medieval streets, where 13th to 16th-century architecture creates a living museum. Once a haven for artists like Post-Impressionist Henri Martin and writer André Breton, the village exudes an inspiring atmosphere.
