Busca KB. Montcuq

6 September overcast and some drizzling

Perfect bike ride.  Uphill for 8kms rising 100m and then down 115m at the same slow descent.  Finally a short climb into Montcuq with it’s tower built in the 12th to 13th century.  In the 13th century the armies of Simon de montfort occupied and pillaged and the town again pillaged during the 100years war. Never really recovered. 

Nice old buildings and the tower. Not much else.  I even checked at the touristic office.

QB walking today. Slow but real progress.

Leaving cahors was via 3kms of car dealers.  Then the pictured wine place.

For one point identify the crop.  Have seen many sunflower and summer wheat farms but I cannot guess this one. Dee has two points for the pun,in French, identification.
