Piquecos, Medieval commune in Tarn-et-Garonne, France.

The village of Piquecos rises 129 meters above sea level, offering views across the Aveyron valley and toward the Montauban plain.

The Château de Piquecos stands as a central landmark in the commune, representing centuries of architectural heritage in the Tarn-et-Garonne department.

The local cemetery contains the final resting place of Occitan poet Jean Castela, marked by a sculpture that forms part of the Quercynoise poetry circuit.

The Piquecos ford, constructed in 1983, provides a water crossing connecting two sections of the commune for approximately ten months each year.

The ford includes a specialized fish passage system that maintains ecological continuity while serving as a base for summer kayaking activities.
