About twenty years ago, we had a vacation in southern France.  It is a beautiful part of the world to visit and a combination of great food and wine and some outstanding scenery.  We were staying along the Lot river but a short drive away was the town of Rocamadour.  This town is famous for being built on the side of a cliff.  It is really a stunning location.  As you approach it by road, you get a great view of the whole town arrayed up the side of the hill.

When you get in to the town, you can climb up to the top following a trail that pilgrims have made over the centuries.  They did it in slow and laborious ways but we just walked, albeit slowly.  When you get to the top, you can walk out on some ramparts that are pretty high and exposed.  Not my idea of a fun place to be but I am not going to wuss out.  If you find yourself in this part of France, so make the effort to visit.  I would love to go again and this time I would take way more photos!
