Lamonzie Montastruc is located in Dordogne, approximately 12 km from Bergerac, on the Bergerac-Périgueux road via Vergt (dep. 21).

Located at the confluence of two rivers, the Caudeau and the Louyre, the village of Lamonzie developed starting in the 12th century following the move of a group of monks belonging to the abbey of Sarlat under the protection of the castle of Montastruc.
