🇫🇷 MONTJOI 🏡 The Most Beautiful Unknown Village of France, Occitanie, Walking Tour [4K/60fps]

🏡 Montjoi is a commune in the Tarn-et-Garonne department in the Occitanie region in southern France
The inhabitants are called Montjoviens .
Situated between the valleys of the Lot and Garonne rivers, Montjoi is an old Bastide village founded in 1256–1257 with half-timbered houses made of Quercy limestone and red brick from the local area, located on a rocky outcrop offering views over the surrounding countryside.

The oldest form is "castri Montis Gaudii in 1255" then Montegaudii in 1272 to become Montis Jovis in 1326, then Montjoye in 1470. Some have seen a compound of the Latin montem (height) and the genitive of gaudium (joy). But in Occitan Montjoi designates a place said to be located on frequented paths.

Perched on its rocky peak, a former castrum (Latin for Castle), Montjoi was founded in the 13th century by the Lord of Penne and Alphonse de Poitiers, count of Toulouse, who made it a royal bastide around 1255–1256. In 1287 it was ceded to Edward I of England. It passed into the Beauville family in 1348. In 1622 Cardinal Richelieu ordered the destruction of the walls of all bastides.
