Hiking
Then one of the most famous stops of the pilgrimage site awaits us: the Grand Escalier β the Great Pilgrim Staircase with 216 steps. π₯Ύ In the past, particularly devout pilgrims are said to have even climbed these stairs on their knees. We content ourselves with our feet and finally reach the Sanctuaire de Rocamadour, built into the rock.
