Sheltered by its three castles, the medieval village of Curemonte stretches along a ridge overlooking the valleys of the Sourdoire and the Maumont. This route will take you on a journey through history, thanks to its remarkable built heritage.
Genoese and flat tiles, gardens overlooking the valley, winegrowers’ houses, and sandstone buildings in harmony with the landscape mark the transition to Quercy.
