"A journey of faith in France"

A medieval château perches high on the cliff above Rocamadour, France. Pilgrims have been coming to the town, home of a rare and mystique-shrouded Black Virgin, for centuries.
The Courtyard of the Churches is ringed by five chapels, a basilica and a crypt. The French village has long been a station on the pilgrimage trail, the faithful drawn to a statue of the Black Virgin. The statues are believed to act -- sometimes miraculously -- on behalf of those who seek help from the Virgin Mary.
