Les Junies

Les Junies is a small commune located in the Lot department of southwestern France. The village sits among gently rolling hills and shares borders with neighboring communities including Pontcirq, Lherm, and Labastide-du-Vert.

The settlement developed over centuries with several religious and fortified structures marking its past. A medieval convent, castle, and two parish churches - Canourgues and Saint-Perdufle de la Masse - document periods of both spiritual and defensive importance throughout its history.

The name of this commune reflects its Occitan heritage, with residents known as Junicois and Junicoises maintaining traditional rural French customs.

The village is best explored by car, as public transportation options are limited in this rural area. Visiting the Town Hall at Le Bourg provides opportunities to learn more about local governance and community information.

Three streams cut through the landscape here: Lherm Stream, Raynal Stream, and La Masse Stream. These waterways shape the natural surroundings and influence how the terrain drains and changes with the seasons.
