The elevated village of Lauzerte, classified as one of the most beautiful villages in France and a stopover on the route to Santiago de Compostella, dominates the valleys and hills of the Quercy Blanc. Nicknamed the Toledo of Quercy, this medieval bastide, founded in 1241 by the Count of Toulouse, is home to a beautiful square with cornières in its city center, surrounded by old stone houses with wooden facades. At one of the ends, a surprising work of art – the curled corner – gives a particularly original touch to the whole! Next door, the Saint-Barthélemy Church deserves a visit for its beautiful Baroque altarpiece in gilded wood.
