5Rocamadour – A Cliffside Pilgrimage Site
Rocamadour is as dramatic as it is beautiful. Built into the side of a steep cliff overlooking the Alzou River in the Dordogne region, this town has been a popular pilgrimage site since medieval times. The village’s sanctuary complex includes several chapels and religious structures, and its cliffside location makes it truly awe-inspiring.
Must-See Spot: The pilgrimage steps leading to the Chapelle Notre-Dame, which house the famous Black Madonna statue.
