A day at Rocamadour

Rocamadour is in the Lot department of France.

I started at the Forêt des Singes to photograph the Barbary Macaques.

My next call was to walk down the cliff-face track into the village for lunch.

Looking back up





After a leisurely lunch in one of the many restaurants, I went back to the top via the lift systems.

Finally, I went into the Rocher des Aigles ornithological park.

Then the heavens opened and a violent thunder-storm followed.

  

Time to head back to my hotel.
