Carcassonne to Rocamadour - too much to see!

You all were so good with help in the other direction. We will be leaving Carcassonne late morning and would like to be at our B %26amp; B outside Rocamadour by 4 pm 1600 hrs. I know we could spend days on Cahors, Albi, etc, but we just don%26#39;t have any more days! St. Cirque Laropopie looks nice, is it worth the detour, or are we better off having lunch and a visit in Cahors. Peche du merle sounds really interesting, but again, do we have time?





By this point on or trip, we will not be interested in museums at all, mostly into architechure, wine, pretty villages. I am thinking lunch and a quick walk around and look at bridge in Cahors, then a drive around St. Cirque to look at village from distance and not fight the crowds then on to Rocamador. Is St. Cirque worth the detour or are we going to see enough beautiful villages in the Dordogne?

Whatever you do, don%26#39;t miss the cathedral in Albi--it%26#39;s spectacular. The nearby Toulouse-Lautrec museum is also worth your time, if you think you%26#39;ll be museumed-out by that time.

What about St. Cirque Lapopie, is it worth the detour? Would the drive to Roc ion the back roads from there be more interesting or more frustrating than the motorway?
