Rocamadour is a commune of southwestern France. It is in the canton of Gramat in the diocese of Cahors and the former province of Quercy. This village by the wonderful beauty of its situation merits the attention of artists and excites the curiosity of archaeologists; but its reputation is due especially to its celebrated sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin Mary which for centuries has attracted pilgrims from every country, among them kings, bishops, and nobles. The town also gives its name to Rocamadour, a small goat’s milk cheese that was awarded AOC status in 1996. Nice place for vacation location in France. Plan it in your sightseeing tour.
