Martin M. Miles' photos with the keyword: Cirq-Lapopie

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 hiked the "Via Podiensis", years ago, I passed through here in pouring rain. I remember the hot coffee I got. More photos taken in and around Saint-Sirq-Lapopie are to find in my Lot-album.
