Montcuq-en-Quercy-Blanc, a village to discover

Montcuq is famous far beyond the Lot region for its delightful name and its 12th-century medieval keep overlooking the Roman tiled roofs. The Quercy Blanc, of which Montcuq is a part, gets its name from the white color of the limestone that makes up the local buildings. The rolling hills, sunflower fields, and medieval bastides make this area one of the most popular destinations for rural tourism in the Lot.
