Rocamadour
In the heart of Haut-Quercy, as if clinging to a mighty cliff rising 150 metres above the deep Alzou valley, this small Marian town has been a renowned place of pilgrimage since the twelfth century, visited since the Middle Ages by many "roumieux", anonymous or famous (Henry II of England, Simon de Montfort, Blanche of Castile and Louis IX of France, Saint Dominic and Saint Bernard, among other illustrious figures), who come to venerate the Black Virgin and the tomb of Saint Amadour. Rocamadour lies in the heart of the Causses du Quercy regional nature park.
