Saint-Cirq-Lapopie
A beautiful creative village perched to the side of a cliff. A definite must see for any guests.
The second most visited place in France. The church has the famous "Black Madonna". It is a sacred place where the Stations of the Cross are situated from the lower village to the upper Catherdral. Devout Christians have been known to go up on the knees! There is a fantastic balloon festival in September. Rocamadour has plenty of places to eat and shop.

These sets of Caves has to be seen to be believed. You decent some 75 meters deep into the cavernous hole of the chasm. The hole is 35 metres in diameter. You then take a boat throw eerie still waters through the subterranean river system and come out into the wondrous sights of the 60 metre Stalacitte. Amazing!
