Bruniquel

Bruniquel (French pronunciation: [bʁynikɛl]; Languedocien: Borniquèl) is a commune in the Tarn-et-Garonne department in the Occitanie region in Southern France.

The village is a picturesque mixture of old pink stone and red tile with a dramatic belfry, medieval gateways and defensive walls.

The castle is notable for a gallery 20 metres (66 ft) long in Renaissance style overhanging the valley of which it offers steep views that many visitors find alarming.

It now houses a museum of prehistory exhibiting "treasures of Bruniquel" found in several caves near the castles.

The village, including the Château de Bruniquel, and its surroundings feature in the 1975 film Le Vieux Fusil (The Old Rifle) directed by Robert Enrico starring Romy Schneider and Philippe Noiret.
