#francetrip
Rocamadour is more than just a beautiful sight; it’s a place that seems to transport you back in time. As you walk up the Grand Escalier, the main pilgrimage path, the echoes of ancient chants fill the air. The village offers a perfect blend of historical intrigue and natural beauty, with narrow streets leading to panoramic views that take your breath away. Rocamadour’s charm lies in its tranquility; unlike the crowded tourist hubs, this village allows for introspection and a deeper connection with its surroundings. Visit the nearby Padirac Cave for an underground adventure or enjoy a peaceful moment by the river. Whether you’re seeking spiritual solace or just a picturesque escape, Rocamadour offers an unforgettable experience that resonates long after you’ve left its ancient streets.
A medieval pilgrimage site

Ever since I read about Rocamdour, I had been trying to figure out where and when to squeeze it into my itinerary. My stay in dordogne was very comfortable. I made some great friends too and so ended up staying a few more days. Some of the people I knew were more keen on day trips. Turns out that was the best way to go about it.
We finally put together a plan for Rocamdour. We were about a little more than 100 kms away. And it made sense to cover what's on the way and slightly further as a way of making the most of the day. The plan included Rocamdour, Village of Alvignac and Gouffre de Padiric which is only about 12kms further.
From a day trip perspective, I would recommend starting sooner. You see it's a very small town settled atop a hill. There is one main street and some pilgrimage sites. For those who have trouble climbing or the stairs. There is a halfway lift as well. Since it is a small town it does get a bit crowded. The early hours were much better. And the best of pictures of this town were all from a distance with a proper view of it.
