Larroque-Toirac is a village and commune in the French département of Lot. Overlooked by a medieval castle, the village lies halfway between Figeac and Cajarc in the valley of the Lot River.
The castle was built in the 12th century and improved over the following 300 years. It is now a popular tourist attraction.
