Walk down the cross trail (lift on the way back) and admire the miraculous chapel and its black virgin, the sarcophagus of St. Amadour dug into the rock of the cliff, and the legendary sword Durandal.

Perched on a cliff overlooking a bend in the Lot River, Saint-Cirq-Lapopie is a masterpiece of the medieval era. Dominated by the fortified church, the houses with their steep roofs covered with brown tiles reveal their harmonious volumes as they wind through the picturesque alleyways.
