Although Rocamadour is visited by thousands of pilgrims yearly, it is not in the league of popular major cities such as Paris or Madrid. In fact there is no train connection directly to this place. We had to go down Brive La Gaillard and take a cab for an almost one hour trip just to reach this beautiful hidden city up the mountains. Brive-la-Gaillarde is a tiny city in the Lot/Dordogne Valley.

From Rome, we hired a limo to take us straight to Positano. We were on a tight schedule so could not afford to take the train and local bus for that will mean losing several more hours. We scrimped on hotel expenses and stayed in a monastery in Rome so we we will have some money to pay the limo and driver. Besides, we were able to do some photo shoot stops along the way.
