Quercy Blanc Region Unlike many rural French villages that close outside the busy summer months, our area benefits from being a year-round destination with amenities throughout all seasons. This makes it ideal to visit anytime–a hidden gem, offering peaceful charm and without overbearing crowds. The Quercy Blanc region, including Montaigu-de-Quercy, is often considered to have a slightly drier and sunnier climate, benefiting from a reputed micro-climate that provides more sunshine and less rain and humidity compared to surrounding areas, including much of the Dordogne. This difference means the Quercy Blanc region can feel more pleasant, especially during the colder seasons, making it a particularly attractive place to explore and relax year-round.
