Your pronunciation of Roc-d'amadour was a bit weird, The Rock d' Amadour. Anyway, as an ex long time resident, you said it had become a tourist destination in the 20th century, it has been a big tourist destination since 1166 when the local broke monks decided they wanted a bit of the pilgrimage money from people heading along the nearby pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compestala, and made a big deal out of an unknown body they found and pretended he was a saint. He was certainly someone important, but no one knows who or what his life was like. He may of been a highway robber which was an issue then as they prayed on the pilgrims. The place is run like a cartel, 4 ancient families that own most of it control everything that happens, what shops and businesses sell. The business side of the village is seedy in the extreme. Anyway, anyone visiting explore the little tracks along the hillside, at first glance you cannot see it, but the whole cliff face is riddled with caves , pretty much every building built into the cliff face is built over one. Some are huge and link to the largest single cave network in western Europe. The Lot region gets less tourists than the Dordogne, less spoilt by tourism too. Just do not go in August, the plague of tourists will make you hate humanity.
