No driving in the village!
Plan to drop off guests and luggage at Porte de Rocamadour and walk in. Drive the car to the resident parking lot and climb the stairs there to join your group at the medieval gate, Porte de Rocamadour. Our house is 5 houses in on the left after walking through the medieval gate.
Mga kapaki-pakinabang na parirala
Always say « Bonjour » before you say anything else!
It is okay if you dont speak French. Just say Bonjour before you ask where something is or how much something costs. Otherwise you might sound rude 😳
Paano makapaglibot
You need a car
I recommend renting the smallest 4 door available. The roads are tiny. Better to have two small cars than one big SUV!
