Montcuq is very well known and speaking about the place almost every Frenchman immediately gets a mischievous smile on his face. Montcuq is not known for its village square or weekly market, but for its rather unusual name. Montcuq is pronounced in general civilized French as "MONKU", "mon cul" so. And well, in flat French that literally means 'my behind, my ass...' and you can come up with it yourself.

A beautiful place that immediately invites you to linger when you are on the GR 65. The small detour is definitely worth it. There is a nice café right at the entrance to the village. The old town center, dominated by the large 12th-century keep, is worth seeing. Small streets and old stone houses characterize this place.
You can also visit the Eglise de Rouillac from the 12th century with Romanesque wall paintings in the chancel. Its octagonal tower, together with the 30 m high keep, form the silhouette of Montcuq, which can be seen from afar.
Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia:
Montcuq is located in the Quercy-Blanc region, the area where the Garonne and Tarn meet, which forms a limestone plateau intersected by many river valleys. The town is located on a green hill above the Barguelonnette river and is crowned by the square tower of the former fortress. While the old town center is on the hill, the newer part with the industrial area stretches along the river.

Pleasant walk to discover the quercy blanc. With a plus on Sunday market day. Magnificent view of the village, discovery of a japan wind phone phone booth and picnic area in a wooden cabin.
