Roquecor and surroundings

A perched and luminous village, between sky and stones.

Roquecor is a village that still lives. We meet at the Sunday market, we linger at the cafe, we marvel at the light stone alleyways.

We stroll around the Grenier aux artistes, at Loucou, at Artiroc or at the charity shop Les Amis des Chats.

On Friday evenings, the square comes alive around Nicolas' pizzas, or the famous Tête d'Ail restaurant (reservations required). In the summer, flea markets, gourmet markets, and Art & Wine days punctuate the weekends.

24 nationalities live here. Voices from all over the world mingle with the village bell.

Roquecor is not a museum village. It is an inhabited village.

For nature lovers, a walk in Roc des Nobis, a landscaped troglodytic path on the edge of the village invites exploration, amidst legends and natural coolness. Several hiking trails start directly from the village, while the neighboring fortified towns of Lauzerte and Moissac,both about 30 minutes apart, offer cultural and culinary getaways.
