We drove up there, parked, and then walked out to take in the view. The day before we had struggled up a steep old path up to the top of the hill that the château de Beynac sits on. We were pooped. I'll post some pictures of Beynac this week.

Tu attends pour payer, tu attends devant les portes des ascenseurs, tu attends de monter dans un petit bateau, et puis tu attends le guide pour la visite à pied. Rocamadour, en comparaison, était déserté. Même par un beau dimanche après-midi, il n'y avait pas trop la foule.

I'll be posting more pictures.<BR/><BR/>KenKen Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-1146774828957510552006-05-04T22:33:00.000+02:002006-05-04T22:33:00.000+02:00Rocamadour est très pittoresque, mais un rien trop...Rocamadour est très pittoresque, mais un rien trop surfait quand les touristes l'envahissent... Un peu comme le Mont-Saint-Michel qui devient presque détestable quand la horde de touristes déferle... Vu au printemps, cela doit être beaucoup plus agréable :-) Je me souviens des marches..., usées par les genoux de tous ces pélerins... <BR/><BR/>Et Padirac ? Tu nous en parles demain ;-) ? Bises.

It's going directly to the top of my list for 2007, thanks.<BR/><BR/>EmiyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
