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