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.

Saint-Hilaire Church of Montcuq

Highlight • Religious Site

Montcuq means "a pointed height" in Celtic. Like Cajarc, mentioned above, Montcuq was also the subject of a report for Jacques Martin's comedy TV show in 1976: Le Petit Rapporteur. It was Daniel Prévost who cheerfully joked about Montcuq, obviously playing on the double meaning of the village's name. He could barely contain his laughter, and the mayor at the time played along: it was a cult classic. Today, the village continues to capitalize on this reputation, banking on the tourist benefits of pilgrims coming here.

In July 2022, the village was chosen over the city of Lyon to host the first Popcorn Festival. "Popcorn" is a show broadcast every Tuesday on Twitch. It is hosted by Domingo with hand-picked guests. It discusses current events, but not only that. For over two and a half hours, the viewer has no time to get bored. The event is now one of the most watched on the streaming platform.

Montcuq is a charming village. Its tree-lined promenade runs along the lower part of the village, offering a lovely stroll as well as a perfect place to relax.
