一座城市,一座悬崖,一个峡谷……还有奶酪
俯瞰郁郁葱葱的阿尔佐河谷(Alzou river valley),在垂直方向的罗卡马杜尔(Rocamadour)村庄,你不会感到惊讶,有人认为这座中世纪的法国小镇是一个圣地:它的美丽本身就是神秘的。法国西南部的峡谷是众多引人注目的历史小村庄的家园,这些小村庄沿着陡峭的边缘建在山顶上。但罗卡马杜尔是圣詹姆斯途中数千名朝圣者的特殊停留地,这是联合国教科文组织认可的途经法国和西班牙的传统路线,仍然吸引着虔诚和世俗的旅行者。小镇的悬崖顶避难所和里面的黑漆麦当娜雕像据说有治愈的能力。如果你被吸引到更多的地球上的健康来源,不过,Rocamadour也借它的名字美味,当地制作的山羊奶酪。

Gazing down the lush Alzou river valley at the vertically-oriented village of Rocamadour, you won't be surprised some regard the medieval French town as a holy site: Its beauty alone is mystical. The gorges of southwestern France are home to numerous striking historic hamlets built along and atop their steep edges. But Rocamadour is special as a stop for thousands of pilgrims on the Way of Saint James, a UNESCO-recognized traditional route through France and Spain that still draws journeyers both pious and secular. The town's cliff-top sanctuary and the black-painted Madonna statue within have been purported to have healing powers. If you're drawn to more earthly sources of good health, though, Rocamadour also lends its name to a delicious, locally crafted goat cheese.
