Montcuq

In 1229, the French king rebuilt the walls of both the town and castle. All that remains today is the castle keep.. Montcuq has several medieval churches, and many buildings date back to the middle ages. Montcuq's streets are narrow and winding. You will often see men playing "boules" dans le centre ville. This town resembles a set designer's vision of a small French town.

Dimanche, 5 Juillet 2009, the market in Montcuq is alive with the activity of the weekly market. The townspeople shop for their weekly supply of fruits and vegetables. Equally important is meeting their neighbors to exchange gossip and news. Mixed in with the local citizens at the market are tourists and other visitors.. English can be heard frequent along with French and Occitan. Over the last twenty five years, the English have reinvaded southest France. This time their weapons are Pound Notes and Euros, rather than longbows and swords.
