Rocamadour (Rocamador in Occitan) is a commune in the Lot department in south-western France. Rocamadour has attracted visitors for its beautiful setting in a gorge above a tributary of the River Dordogne, and especially for its historical monuments and its sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which for centuries has attracted pilgrims from every country, among them kings, bishops, and nobles. The town below the complex of monastic buildings and pilgrimage churches, traditionally dependent on the pilgrimage site and now on the tourist trade, lies near the river on the lowest slopes; it gives its name to Rocamadour, a small goat's milk cheese. I'm really happy to share this photo with all my Caedes friends and I hope that you will appreciate the architectural appearance of this magnificent city.
