Rocamadour Essentials

Rocamadour is a vertical medieval pilgrimage site carved into the limestone cliffs of the Alzou canyon. This selection covers the religious heart of the village, including the UNESCO-listed Basilique Saint-Sauveur and the sanctuary housing the Black Madonna. Beyond the sacred shrines, it features the 14th-century ramparts of the upper castle, the prehistoric Grotte des Merveilles, and specialized wildlife parks dedicated to birds of prey and Barbary macaques.
