Luzech (French pronunciation: [lyzɛʃ] or [lyzɛk]; Languedocien: Lusèg) is a commune in the Lot department in south-western France.

Luzech is situated on an isthmus formed by the Lot, 90 m wide (or 300 Roman feet), bordered to the north by the hill of the Impernal (150 m) and to the south by that of the Pistoule (70 m), so that the river bypasses a loop, called "cingle" (meander).

Before the Roman conquest, the Gauls built an oppidum on the Impernal, naturally fortified by its rugged character.

For this reason the visitors will use Uxellodunum street to go to the administration building and will park in the Square of Lucterius who was the heroic leader of this resistance, and whose majestic bust is located at the entrance to the Cahors library.

The Hundred Years' War caused havoc: most castles fell to the English, but they never considered implementing their plan to besiege Luzech.

Excavations on the hill of the Impernal helped expose remains of walls and buildings of Gallic and Roman times.

Their descendant, Alfred de la Rochefoucauld, whose mother was born Zénaïde Rastignac, would sell all the family property, and yield to the town all that was left of the castle of the Barons.

The first stone was laid on 19 December 2014 by Serge Rigal (Chairman of the Department), Gérard Alazard (Mayor of Luzech) and three children: one for kindergarten, one for primary and one for college.

The rugby club XV, the Sports Union of Luzech, evolved into the Championship of France, 3rd Federal division, for the 2010-2011 season.
