Lectoure: a historic city in the heart of the Gers
- A Historic Jewel
Lectoure, an ancient Roman town, is famous for its architectural and historical treasures. The cathedral of Saint-Gervais-Saint-Protais, an imposing monument, dominates the townscape and offers visitors a glimpse of the town's rich history. To stroll the cobbled streets of Lectoure is to travel through time, each building telling a centuries-old story.
- Rich history of Lectoure
Lectoure, an ancient town with roots dating back to Roman times, was once called "Lactora", in tribute to the fertility of its land. This historic centre evolved from its days as a Roman castrum to become an influential medieval diocese, marking its importance in the region. The town played a crucial role during the Wars of Religion and was an important centre for the pastel trade during the Renaissance.
- Medieval and Renaissance periods
In the Middle Ages, Lectoure became an important episcopal see, which enriched its architectural heritage. The Saint-Gervais-Saint-Protais cathedral and the town's ramparts still bear witness to this sumptuous period. During the Renaissance, Lectoure's economy diversified with the flourishing trade in woad, a highly sought-after plant dye.
- Development of the Thermal Baths
Lectoure is also known for its thermal springs, which have been exploited since ancient times. The development of the thermal baths in the 19th century transformed the town into a popular spa resort, strengthening its economy and adding a wellness dimension to its tourist appeal.
Cultural and Leisure Activities
The region is a veritable paradise for lovers of culture and history. The Musée Archéologique de Lectoure exhibits artefacts that trace the development of the region since ancient times. In summer, the town comes alive with the Photography Festival, attracting artists and art lovers from all over the world.
For those who prefer physical activity, the Lomagne Gersoise offers vast landscapes to explore on foot, by bike or even on horseback. Well-marked walking routes will take you through sunflower fields, vineyards and picturesque villages.
Local Gastronomy
The Gers is renowned for its gastronomy. The local markets in Lectoure and the surrounding villages are full of fresh produce: foie gras, Lectoure melons, white garlic and, of course, Armagnac.
