Rocamadour - hotels comments….

That price is for three nights, not one. There are lots of other cheaper hotels to chose from in the town. Or you can sleep in a ditch, alongside your £24,000 motorcycle, kept awake worrying how you are going to meet next month’s PCP payment, having spanked a load on the must have clutch reservoir guard and Chinese brake levers…... or just stay at home.

I always think it’s interesting that for a supposedly secular country that, apart from the Eiffel Tower, all the top tourist attractions in France are religious - Rocamadour is second only to Lourdes outside of Paris, went to Lourdes last year and get it either!

Rocamadour is on my doorstep, been there many times trail riding. Tourism is well developed in the area worth visiting Eagles Rock, not sure about the monkeys or the Gouffre de Padirac.

3 nights seems like a long time.

France is more secular than you might think.

Of course this is on ‘Paid admissions’ so Lyon (as a city) or indeed Paris does not appear as you don’t pay an admission fee to enter. My betting is that many more people visited Lyon, than visited Lourdes. But I could be wrong.

We stayed at the Logis Hotel Bellaroc, nice enough for an overnighter. Clean, nice pool, but we ate elsewhere as the restaurant was booked full of schoolchildren.

If they were ‘foreign’ I read here that they are all perfectly behaved and polite to a fault, unlike ALL the children of UK parents, who are ALL yobbish.

There again, I read all sorts of other twaddle here, too.

Used to be the case that French kids were noticeably better behaved than British kids but standards are dropping - I blame the internet.

Everyone else blames the parents.

“Children, should be seen but not heard”, as my mother used to enforce upon my sister and I. Or, as my father used to say in the car, to the pair of us: “We shall now have a long playing record of silence” :D Happy days.
