About Lectoure

Surrounded by 3.2km of medieval ramparts, Lectoure is a gorgeous historic city in Gers. Once a landmark stop on the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route, this small community has since become a relaxing destination for keen foodies, fans of French history and relaxed explorers eager to amble and cycle through rural Gascony. There are a growing number of good accommodation options in the area, and our pick of the best places to stay in Lectoure highlights a beautiful hôtel particulier-turned-hotel, perfect for a memorable trip.

Home to a network of cobbled streets lined with medieval townhouses, Lectoure is a wonderful town to discover on foot. At its centre sit the Fontaine Diane, a natural spring dating back to the Roman era and the 15th-century Cathedral of Saint Gervias & Saint Protais, which houses a fascinating museum. The Gallo-Roman altars hidden in the cellars beneath the town hall and the impressive Château des Comtres d’Armagnac on the edge of town are best seen with an expert guide.

Keen walkers can follow the Bastion Promenade for panoramic views of the valley and the towering Pyrenees. Foodies, on the other hand, can enjoy tours and tastings of Armagnac — Gascony’s much-loved export — or visits to the lively Monday markets to savour fabulous fresh fare, including melons, during the summer months. Amble back your room at one of the best places to stay in Lectoure for pool dips and evening drinks.
