Its many beautiful old buildings and its old streets also make a visit to this nice place worthwhile. You can easily take an afternoon for an extensive visit to this place. Finally, from this place you can enjoy a beautiful view of the surrounding landscape!

Lectoure is a beautiful place in the Gers department. Lectoure is located in a valley carved out by the river Gers and is the second largest municipality in this region after Condom. According to experts, this place is one of the most beautiful places in Midi-Pyrénées.

If, as a pilgrim, you have reached LECTOURE on the Camino de Santiago (Chemin de Saint-Jaques), following the Via Podiensis, on the 19th stage (according to the count of the "Rother") coming from Saint-Antoine, a visit to the Cathedral - if it's still open - shouldn't be missed. The fact that this church is no longer the seat of an independent diocese and therefore actually no longer a cathedral in the canonical sense is irrelevant. The church is dedicated to the early Christian martyrs Gervasius and Protasius.
