Rocamadour [2]

I don't have much to say about these photos. There's plenty of Rocamadour's history on the internet (and Wikipedia in particular) if you're interested. Anything I write here would just be a re-hash of what's already out there. I've visited the place twice. It's mostly shops and restaurants lining the single street through town. In summer, I'll bet that street is crammed with people. There's a parking lot at the bottom of the canyon and visitors can walk up via stairways. There may be a shuttle to carry people up who can't walk, but beyond that main street it's stair-climbing all the way.

Chapels, reliquaries, and maybe a monastery and/or convent, all built against the cliff side.

We had showers on and off most of yesterday. One, around 19h00 or 20h00 was a hum-dinger. It lasted about ten minutes then stopped as abruptly as it had started. Our recently repaired roof seems to be holding up. Knock on wood!
