Montcuq, Administrative commune in Lot, France

The town stretches over 132 square kilometers in southwestern France, featuring white stone houses and a central tower overlooking the Quercy Blanc region.

Founded during Roman times, Montcuq served as a Cathar stronghold until its capture by Simon de Montfort's forces in 1212, leaving only the keep standing.

The Sunday morning market brings together local producers and craftsmen, continuing a tradition of commerce and community gatherings in the town center.
