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.
