Lectoure, a jewel of Gers heritage

Lectoure is one of the most remarkable towns in the Gers. Former capital of the county of Armagnac, perched on a promontory overlooking the Gers valley, it offers exceptional heritage: the Cathedral of Saint-Gervais-et-Saint-Protais, the Château des Comtes d'Armagnac (now the town hall), the ramparts, the private mansions, and the medieval fountains. Classified among the Most Beautiful Detours in France, Lectoure is also a spa town renowned for its treatments based on mélusine.

Hunting for treasures in a historic setting

The Boule Joyeuse car boot sale allows you to combine the pleasure of bargain hunting with the discovery of Lectoure. The stalls offer the usual car boot sale items: clothing, crockery, trinkets, toys, books, vinyl records, tools, and curiosities from Gascon attics. Visitors can then extend their visit by strolling through the streets of the old town, admiring the panoramic views of the Pyrenees on clear days, or visiting the archaeological museum.

A spring event not to be missed

Scheduled for April, the Boule Joyeuse Lectouroise car boot sale takes advantage of the first fine days to attract flea market enthusiasts. Entry is free for visitors. The event is part of Lectoure's rich calendar of events, which hosts flea markets, night markets, and cultural events throughout the year, confirming its reputation as the most dynamic town in the Gers.
