My Travels - in France

These are photographs I took on my trip to France in the spring of 2010. If you have never been there you are missing one of the most beautiful countries there is in the world. The food is fantastic too... the history, the architecture, the people.. oh, did I mention the food?

This is Rocamadour. A town built on a sheer cliff. Their claim to fame is the "Black Madonna". This is a religious site. Every year there are pilgrimmages.
