It's amazing that the archways still stand, even though the buildings are long gone. Looking at the structures built right into the face of the cliff is awe-inspiring; I don't wonder that you didn't make it all the way up to the chateau.

This is an amazing village the way it is built on the side of a gorge. How the early builders got materials up there is mind boggling. It must have been a hard climb for you too. Well done.

We understand it is the most visited place after Paris and Mont St Michel. Close by though there are wine estates, Cahors produces some excellent wines. How many people they employ though I have no idea. <br /><br />It was an incredible place though and well worth the visit.
