Rocamadour

From Carcassonne we explored some cute villages in the Gorges du Tarn: mostly St Chély and Ste Enimie.
 
After crossing the Millau Bridge...

 
...we made it to Rocamadour, a village (or perhaps more accurately, 7 chapels for pilgrims) built into the side of a cliff.

 
We had a little rain during the drive, but it was all gone by the time we arrived at our cliff. Better weather than you could expect for October.
With some more judicious disputes with the SatNav, we made it back to the west of the country the following day, with enough time to take Sophie for a brief walk through St Emilion, before checking the loot in at Bordeaux airport. On this occasion, there was no quibble about the suitcase being 20.7kg - and the wine seems to have come through undamaged.
