Description
The spectacular medieval town of Rocamadour in France, built into a vertical limestone cliff face. In the middle ages, Pilgrims on their way to Santiago di Compestela in Spain would stop here and ascend the 216 steps, on their knees, to the shrine of Our Lady at the top of the plateau. Some pilgrims still do so today.
