Discover Monclar-De-Quercy

Monclar-De-Quercy offers several distinct starting points for a stay: the elevated old village overlooking the surrounding countryside, the rebuilt Gothic Revival church of Notre-Dame de l'Assomption, the Base de Loisirs des 3 Lacs with its lakes and forest, and a cycling loop through Bruniquel to Montricoux. There is also a treasure hunt in the village, a ride through the leisure area and tastings by appointment. When planning, you can consider whether village history, scenery, a culinary visit or a cycling route should be your focus.

Church and village history

The church of Notre-Dame de l'Assomption was rebuilt in the Gothic Revival style. Its stained-glass windows were made in 1877 by the Gibert workshop in Montauban and restored in 1999. This distinguishes two aspects of the church: the Gothic Revival style describes the rebuilding, while the dates refer to the windows' manufacture and subsequent restoration. Those interested in architectural history will find a specific connection here to architecture and artistic craftsmanship.

The history of the village has its own distinctive focus, too. Monclar-De-Quercy was once a fortified town, of which only a few remains have survived. The former fortifications and the church's architectural history are different topics in the village's history; together, they offer distinct ways to discover the place through its past.

Countryside and leisure base

The old village is set on higher ground and overlooks the surrounding countryside. The Base de Loisirs des 3 Lacs offers a different focus, covering 45 hectares of lakes and forest. The view from the old village and the extensive leisure area therefore provide different ways to experience the scenery of Monclar-De-Quercy. The Base's Petit Train offers an enjoyable ride through the grounds, accompanied by anecdotes about the history of the Tarn-et-Garonne department. The ride thus connects the leisure area with a historical narrative.

Tastings by appointment

At Les Vergers de Céline, you can sample fruit juices, homemade jams, fruit and coulis on site by appointment. Arrange your visit in advance and take the appointment into account when planning. The tasting offers a culinary focus alongside the themes of village history, scenery and outdoor activities.

Treasure hunt and cycling loop

The Baludik treasure hunt takes you through numerous notable places in Monclar-De-Quercy and lasts about an hour. It is suitable for children aged twelve and over as well as adults. The approximate duration can help with planning your time; the age guidance is another specific point of reference. As the route content may be updated, it is worth checking the current version before setting out.

The Circuit des prospérités passées is a cycling loop from Monclar-De-Quercy through Bruniquel to Montricoux. By contrast, the Baludik treasure hunt takes you through notable places within Monclar-De-Quercy: one activity is based in the village and has an approximate duration, while the other is described by its sequence of locations. You can distinguish between the two formats according to your preferred focus—exploring the village or taking a cycling loop through other named places.
