| Getting to Rocamadour without your own transport is awkward, unless you're prepared to walk or take a taxi the 4km from the Rocamadour-Padirac gare SNCF on the Brive–Capdenac line. If you arrive by car, you'll have to park in L'Hospitalet, 1.5km from Rocamadour (and with the best view of the town there is), or else in the car park several hundred metres below the town. There are two tourist offices: the main one in l'Hospitalet (April Sun–Fri 10am–noon & 2–6pm, Sat 2–6pm; May to mid-July & first two weeks of Sept daily 10am–12.30pm & 2–6.30pm; mid-July to Aug daily 10am–7.30pm; mid-Sept to mid-Nov Mon–Fri 10am–noon & 2–6pm, Sat & Sun 2–5.30pm; mid-Nov to March Mon–Fri 10am–12.30pm & 2–5.30pm; tel 05.65.33.22.00, www.rocamadour.com), and a second next to the Hôtel de Ville (daily: April to mid-July & first two weeks Sept 10am–12.30pm & 1.30–6pm; mid-July to Aug 9.30am–7.30pm; mid-Sept to mid-Nov 10am–noon & 2–5.30pm; mid-Nov to March 2–5pm; tel 05.65.33.63.26), on the main street. Rocamadour's hotels are not too expensive but they're completely booked out in the summer and close for the winter months. If you ring ahead, you might get in at the Lion d'Or, Porte Figuier (tel 05.65.33.62.04, www.liondor-rocamadour.com; €30–40; closed Nov–March; restaurant from €10.60), or Le Terminus des Pèlerins, at the bottom of the Via Sancta (tel 05.65.33.62.14, [email protected]; €40–55; closed Nov–March; restaurant from €14.10). Up in L'Hospitalet, Le Camp'hostel (tel 05.65.33.73.50, fax 05.65.33.69.60; €40–55; closed mid-Oct to March) has bright, modern rooms. They also run the neighbouring campsite, Le Relais du Campeur (tel 05.65.33.63.28, [email protected]; closed Oct–March).
