Rocamadour is an amazing site to see! I highly recommend it. Our guide Benoit was not at all animated or interesting. After traveling with Anne, guide extraordinaire, the day before on another Ophorus tour, this one felt flat. It was a rainy day but the weather had nothing to do with it. There was no enthusiasm on the part of the guide. I was very, very disappointed that we did not get to go on the ramparts. There is a machine where you put in a 2-euro coin and it gives you a ticket to scan to open the gate for access to the rampart. Three of us tried it and it did not work. We put in our coins and scanned our tickets but the gate did not open. A few minutes later, we saw a large group of about 20 to 25 people led by a guide. They all went in to the ramparts immediately, within a minute. The guide must have had a key or other access to the ramparts that our guide did not have. So, we lost money, and did not get on the ramparts! That was a huge disappointment, since I had been looking forward to seeing Rocamadour more than anything else in my trip in the Dordogne.
