Latronquière, capital of Haut-Ségala

In the heart of the Lot Ségala region, Latronquière is surrounded by chestnut, beech and fir forests, close to the Lac du Tolerme and the Roc de France wetlands. Nearby Labastide-du-Haut-Mont, the highest point in the département at 788 metres, offers superb panoramic views of the Monts du Cantal. A former crossing point between Quercy and Auvergne, the village has a long history as a commandery of the Order of St John of Jerusalem.
