Later we found out it was better to return when the mairie is open. Often the church is opened by one of those in the town hall on the day the mairie is open; else they happily give you the key or phone somebody with a key to open the door for you.

It looks magical in the snow despite the crane. Yes, a return visit in the summer and a hunt for the key seems called-for.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20123932.post-54309773601332088922015-02-25T18:46:24.246+01:002015-02-25T18:46:24.246+01:00This church and hamlet look so pretty in the snow....This church and hamlet look so pretty in the snow. The key is intriguing, perhaps like Rosemary says it is for the church. I must admit I didn't notice the crane until you pinted it out as I was focussing on the church. Thanks for linking up to #AllAboutFrance, I hope to see you back on 5th march.Phoebe @ Lou Messugohttp://www.loumessugo.com/en/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20123932.post-40651423656564275972015-02-25T10:55:34.456+01:002015-02-25T10:55:34.456+01:00I loved seeing your churches in the snow, really e...I loved seeing your churches in the snow, really enjoyed this postOur french oasishttp://www.ourfrenchoasis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20123932.post-45871104428463652022015-02-17T19:55:54.277+01:002015-02-17T19:55:54.277+01:00It's really lovely, particularly in the snow. ...It's really lovely, particularly in the snow. Maybe the key would have let you enter the church! Quite often, you can get the key from the presbytery or the town hall, but there has to be somewhere there of course!Aussie in Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15267719894279001689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20123932.post-39536492220384830922015-02-15T10:10:42.750+01:002015-02-15T10:10:42.750+01:00Sarah -- that whole Larzac plateau does get very s...Sarah -- that whole Larzac plateau does get very snowy at times. There is also another pass before you get to Millau that can be treacherous. Much of Aveyron is generally much colder than the Lot, so I'm not surprised you had no snow in Rocamadour.Betty Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155852272383173880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20123932.post-4722869667535343722015-02-15T09:45:20.145+01:002015-02-15T09:45:20.145+01:00Ooh yes, I'd go back too.

There was no snow in Rocamadour though.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195684182481935384noreply@blogger.com
