LeBouyssou > Rocamadour > Cahour

We stayed with Eric and Maree Amilee in there isolated country property for a couple of nights. They have renovate a couple of the stone outbuildings for B&B. The welcome was lovely with our dinner ready for us. We joined them in the big house for breakfast. So welcoming and so jolly.

We visited Rockamadour, which dates back to the 8th century. The town planners demonstrated class bias. The peasants and the beasts lived on the valley floor; the merchants lived in the permanent houses as you rise up the gorge; the clerics lived above the town’s defensive walls, here the cathedral is spectacular, especially in the context of its location; the Knights lived on top of the gorge in the castle.
You know what runs down hill don’t you?

Happily with modern appliances the restaurants here were spot on.

Cahors is also medieval in origins. Beside a river and on the flat there was some room to move and grow. The cathedral here is also quite spectacular. Sadly car charging started to become a pain in the but here.Leer más
