In the heart of Montcuq-en-Quercy-Blanc.

Step through the door of a 16th-century half-timbered house, right in the heart of the village of Montcuq-en-Quercy-Blanc. Its centuries-old walls keep you naturally cool all summer long.

Peaceful, yet everything is just a stroll away: bakery, grocery store, butcher, cafés and restaurants only steps from your door. Free parking 30 metres away. Montcuq is alive all year round — markets, festivities, sunny terraces — and it makes the perfect base for exploring the Quercy Blanc, the Cahors vineyards and the region's scenic hiking trails.

All the comfort you need for an authentic stay.

The house sleeps 2: a bedroom with a double bed, an open-plan living space where lounge and kitchen come together around a large farmhouse table and a generous sofa, and a shower room with a walk-in shower.

Exposed beams and antique furniture sit alongside a fully equipped modern kitchen — the charm of centuries past with all of today's comforts.

Free fibre Wi-Fi, smart TV with access to streaming platforms, linen and towels provided.

Montcuq-en-Quercy-Blanc perches on its hilltop in the heart of the Quercy Blanc, a sun-drenched land where melons, lavender, sunflowers and vines grow effortlessly.

This little village owes much of its fame to its name, which has been making the French laugh for decades! Montcuq shot to national stardom in 1976, when comedian Daniel Prévost featured it on the cult TV show Le Petit Rapporteur, playfully — and mercilessly — punning on its name. The joke put Montcuq on the map and turned it into one of France's most famously photographed village signs!

But while visitors may come out of curiosity, eager to see the celebrated village and snap a picture in front of its sign, they stay for something else entirely: the gentle art of living that Montcuq has mastered.

Wander through the impossibly charming medieval lanes that tumble down the hillside from the ancient keep, browse the Sunday morning market and meet the local producers, or take a dip in the Blue Flag waters of the Saint-Sernin lake — and you'll soon understand why life here is so sweet.
