Town of Rocamadour – Great Attractions (France)

Take a tour of Town of Rocamadour in France – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats. The remarkable town of Rocamadour resembles a frozen waterfall of buildings tumbling down the cliff. The town's built into a nearly sheer rock wall overlooking a River gorge. A series of chapels and churches rise in levels up the chateau that crowns the hill. The town is a historical site of pilgrimage and a place of holy relics. The beautiful medieval architecture make the steep climb a worthwhile venture. The view of the town below and of the surrounding countryside from the chateau is spectacular. Another amazing sight is that of the cliff face and buildings illuminated from below at night.
