Saint-Cirq-Lapopie

Saint-Cirq-Lapopie
Saint-Cirq-Lapopie towers on a cliff 100 meters above the river Lot.

During the Hundred Years War the fortified town was besieged and conquered. All fortifications got demolished. The village again suffered during the Wars of Religion, but the population never gave up and by now Saint-Cirq-Lapopie one of the "Plus Beaux Villages de France" ("most beautiful villages of France").

When I walked the "Via Podiensis" some years ago, I passed through here in pouring rain.
