Château du Bousquet stands in Montpeyroux (Aveyron), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Standing on the pilgrim route between Le Puy and Conques, the Château du Bousquet raises its six towers of rough basalt in the commune of Montpeyroux, in the Aveyron department. Built in the 14th century by the Montpeyroux family, it keeps a fortress-like character despite later windows added across its three floors. Visitors can see an intact kitchen with its musicians' gallery, along with a chapel whose painted decoration dates from the early 18th century.
