Discover Montcuq
Montcuq is a picturesque medieval village located in the sunny region of White Quercy, named after the colour of its limestone rock. For pilgrims on the Le Puy Way, it's a special stopover. The town is topped by an imposing twelfth-century tower-turret, which is what remains of its old castle, and from which stunning panoramic views are obtained. Its old town, with narrow streets and stone houses, stretches along the slope. Despite its small size, it has a lively atmosphere and all necessary services. It's a stage to enjoy the beauty of rural architecture, luminous landscape and tranquillity.
