We had a tour and tasting at the privately owned Château Busca Maniban in the heart of Armagnac country. It is a beautiful example of 17th century Gascogne architecture with vineyards all around. We toured many of the rooms including the castle kitchen.
The last stop on this 7 day trip ended with a visit to Rocamadour; an historic town with a dramatic rock- face setting. It was one of Europe's important pilgrimage sites. Rocamadour is divided into three levels: the bottom level (la Cité Médievale), a pedestrian street lined with shops and restaurants, the second level (Cité Religieuse) including a church and 7 chapels and the upper town with the château and (l"Hospitalet) offering protection and lodging to pilgrims. There is an incredible view over the countryside from the top .
