5.00Our guide David was full of information and stop along the way to point out excellent photo ops. The fortress and monastery were magnificent and well worth a half day trip from Sarlat

Breathtaking and Mind Expanding

5.00The view of Rocamadour from the streets below and the opposite cliff was absolutely stunning. David’s explanation of the site on the way to the tour was evocative and very interesting and the nooks and crannies he pointed out and explained were enthralling. His love of the Département was apparent throughout our drive as he gave us nuggets of information about truffles, vin de noix, and foie gras and their role in la vie quotidienne en Dordogne et Lot. Merci beaucoup David!
