Guestbook for La Forge

We loved the fact that we could walk down to the river and across the bridge to buy our bread......

With the Meyronne hill and the river cliffs overlooking the cottage it is a delightful setting

How peaceful it is here...

Rocamadour the cliff village is why we came ........to follow the pilgrims route

Thank goodness for someone who really has a fully enclosed pool which young children cannot get into...peace of mind!
