Underground and Above-ground Rivers

The underground cave system and river, Gouffre de Padirac, is a unique feature of southwestern France. The colors from the lights, playing on the rocks and water, make beautiful paintings.



After gondoliering along the (approx 500 m) river and back, and going back up the 500+ steps to the surface (mostly by elevator), we had a good lunch and then a good hike (about 6 miles) to the pilgrimage town of Rocamadour along the Lot River.  The colors along the route were, in places, strikingly similar to those in the cave.
