Rocamadour

The site of a famous pilgrimage, Rocamadour clings to the side of a cliff near Cahors in SW France.  Apparently it is the second most visited site in France after Mont St. Michel in Normandy.


Looking up from below.


The pilgrimage to the top has been made by many, including Henry II of England and the French kings Charles IV, Louis IX and Louis XI.


At the very top.  I volunteered to take the photo to avoid going anywhere near the edge!


The confronting drop...  Emma took this one.


Magnificent.  I don't know how you'd even think about starting a project like this.
