Tips from the Community
Here is what looks like a tower but is actually the ruins of an old windmill. A very charming element to discover on leaving the village of Montegut.

This castle is a private property, but the tower is magnificent to see from afar when entering the village.

Sublime view point over the valley and the Montegut castle. Take the small road to the left of the church, then right towards the white path. Continuing, you arrive at an orientation table.
