The Place des Cornières in Lauzerte has a raised corner:

Original, unusual, it does not leave anyone indifferent. Artistic creation of Jacques Buchholtz, realized at the end of 1988 with sandstone pavers, limestone borders, reinforced concrete structure of 4 tons in cantilever and industrial tiles. "A square of light, in the middle of a bastide, a square of stones and earth assembled in squares grid. A mineral square - raised in an angle as under a gust of wind on the ground a shimmer of colors, to better illuminate the eye - raised in an angle as a rise to the sky. A call to other dreams, a springboard to the supernatural. You have to know how to let yourself go and just feel the emotion. In Lauzerte, it's possible!

HERITAGE of LAUZERTE an enchanting village of Douce France dreamed of foreign tourists.

Since 1990, Lauzerte has been one of the "Most Beautiful Villages of France" villages, a nugget nestled in the heart of the white Quercy overlooking the Garonne valley, perched above the valleys and hills. This bastide was built in the 12th century by the Count of Toulouse and is located on via Podiensis, one of the roads leading to Santiago de Compostela. From this historical and religious past there are many testimonials: the central square and its ancient pavement, stone houses or half-timbered, pilgrim's garden ... An inclined path leads to the Place des Cornières.

The center of the town with its thirteenth-century houses, wood facades and twinned windows, others of the Renaissance mullioned windows,
