Camino Photo of the Day: Rocamadour’s Château
From the top of Rocamadour’s Way of the Cross, you can see the château that once guarded the top of the cliff. It dates from the 13th century, though the actual fortifications were demolished sometime after the Revolution. Nowadays, it’s the residence of the folks who work in the Sanctuary district, as well as being a swanky hotel.
