Latronquière: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
A notable testament to Latronquière’s history is the Commandery of Latronquière. It was the most important religious establishment of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem in Quercy. Its grounds contain a medieval feudal motte and the base of a keep.
Those who choose Latronquière as a destination may wish to rent a holiday apartment.
Culture
The backgrounds of the Stations of the Cross depict real views of Latronquière, either within or on the outskirts of the village. The Stations of the Cross commemorate the deaths of 15 residents of Latronquière during deportation following the raid of 11 May 1944. Roman remains visible in Latronquière include milestones and sections of the Roman road between Cahors in the Lot and Gergovie in Puy-de-Dôme.
The Musée Gabriel is housed in an Art Deco building from the 1930s, known as “Le Magasin Universel”.
Nature
Latronquière lies at an elevation of at least 600 metres; this altitude provides favourable conditions for stargazing. The Roc de France wetland features wooden walkways, picnic tables, benches and an educational trail focusing on the species found there.
The Roc de France circular trail leads to a natural area where former wetlands have been restored and animal and plant species have returned. The Roc de France circular trail is accessible to horse riders and mountain bikers.
