Latronquiere - Travel & Tourism Guide Latronquiere

Latronquière is a typical village in the Ségala region of the Lot, on the Roman road from Cahors to Clermont, a toll booth between Quercy and Auvergne. This former Knights Templar commandery, which passed to the Order of Malta under Philip the Fair, still boasts the remains of an ancient fortified castle where the Knights of Malta were summoned by Guillaume de Vilaret. The sarcophagi are still there in the cemetery, frozen in time. Gisèle Jónsson, born Dailly in 1923, was a local child who made a major contribution to botanical research, such as her herbarium on the island of Heimaey, the only evidence of the original vegetation destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 1973.
