Our house is at the heart of the charming fortified hilltop town of Lectoure dating back to Roman times. Lectoure has a weekly market, a range of food shops selling local produce, a renowned thermal spa and a number of charming cafes, shops and restaurants. Local artists regularly host exhibitions. There is a stunning cathedral and archaeological museum- all on your doorstep. No need to drive anywhere. The surrounding countryside which the house looks out over is one of rolling fields and sunflowers. This is the least populated area of France, roads are empty and life goes on much as it would have done centuries ago.
