Peche Merle is just before the village of Cabrerets-signed by the red handprint as found in the cave. Can't miss the place but it is accessable only by guided tour-bring something warm the cave a-n-d it's paintings are amazing. There is a early morning train from Figeac to the station of Rocamadour. From that station turn left and follow a well beaten path six kilometers to the hill overlooking Rocamadour, sit there in amazement for several minutes. The visit can easily be done in a day by return train check in Figeac for times but there is also an albergue in Rocamadour, walk down past all the stores, trinket salespeople, tourist traps, etc past the steps leading up to the fantastic church with it's Black Madonna and there is a lovely small place run by the nuns. Along the way there is a very helpfull Tourist Information office which can help you with the lodging. Figeac also offers the Champollion Museum-truly appreciated onlycby history and language diehards.hi

Saint Cirq is indeed a beautiful place p-a-c-k-e-d with tourists on the weekends and on many weekdays. Try and get there after 1600 when they are all gone. The municipal albergue there is modern and very pleasant.It's a beautiful route and don't forget to do the out and back to Saint Cirq.
