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 (Château de Larroque-Toirac) was built in the 12th century and improved over the following 300 years. It is now a popular tourist attraction.
