The Chapel
by black_mimi99
Over the ensuing centuries the crypt of St. Amadour and the chapel of the Black Virgin underwent periods of prosperity and decline. In 1562 the chapel was pillaged and burnt by the Protestants, and the body of St. Amadour was destroyed. Reconstruction of the shrine began in the 1800’s and through it all, the statue of the Black Virgin remained unharmed. The chapel and its legendary statue continue to be the venerated and Rocamadour remains one of the most popular Marian holy places in all of France.

by hquittner
The vista from the belvedere allows one to vizualize the town below. Like any townscape, it is more satisfying if you have walked the town first. (Why do so many people rush to go up the Eiffel tower when they have not yet see Paree?). Of course the view of the gorge and the causse are impressive with l'Hospitalet 2 km off to the north and if you can find it, the little Alzou river that carved it all (?) at the bottom of the gorge. It looks immense, the town is 500m above the floor and the top is maybe twice that. (Grand Canyon 1500m)
