Additional Information

This tour is not accessible for people with reduced mobility
Climb aboard a comfortable van in Sarlat and after a 1-hour trip punctuated by photo stops through the majestic landscapes of the Dordogne Valley, you will reach Rocamadour, one of the most beautiful medieval villages in France, built in a vertiginous setting against a cliff face, a thousand-year-old historic UNESCO site.

During this guided tour you will learn about the legends at the origin of this sacred place. You will discover the sanctuary and admire the miraculous chapel and its black virgin, the sarcophagus of St. Amadour dug into the rock of the cliff, and the legendary sword Durandal.

On the way back , we will make a stop to visit a unique place : either the Cougnaguet medieval watermill (april to october) or Souillac Romanesque church (november to march) or a village of the Dordogne valley (Domme or La Roque Gageac - available all year - on request).

A memorable visit to a fascinating site. - It was memorable to learn about Rocamadour's fascinating history and its important role related to Europe's pilgrim trails. The site itself and the complex way in which the shrine is constructed is unique! Very happy I got to see and learn about it with an excellent guide.

Rocamadour - This tour is a must. The seven chapels carved into the cliff side and the whole village are breathtaking . David our guide from EXPLOREO was amazing!! He was very knowledgeable and thorough throughout our tour. We stopped at a flour mill on our way to Rocamadour that was unique , peaceful , and just beautiful surroundings. David also stopped along the way for us to take pictures at two different locations with beautiful views. I highly recommend Rocamadour tour with David as your tour guide.
