Château du Bousquet stands in Arcambal (Lot), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 15th century, 16th century, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Overlooking the Lot valley in the commune of Arcambal, the Château du Bousquet brings together several building phases, from the medieval keep to additions made in the 17th and 18th centuries. Visitors come for its fortified outline of irregular round towers and for a Gothic stone staircase preserved inside. Once held by the du Bousquet family and later the Deslax d'Arcambal, the estate has remained with the descendants of its 19th century owners.
