A perched village with a remarkable panorama

Tournecoupe is a typical perched village of Lomagne, located between Saint-Clar and Lectoure on a ridge overlooking the valleys and sunflower fields of this hilly region of the Gers. Its elevated position offers an exceptional panorama of the Lomagne hillsides and, on clear days, the Pyrenees mountain range. The stone houses, the church, and the narrow village streets retain an authentic rural charm that appeals to visitors seeking preserved Gascony.

Entertainment and conviviality: tombola and mascot

The Tournecoupe car boot sale is not just about bargain hunting: a tombola is organized throughout the day, offering the chance to win various prizes. A mascot show delights the youngest, while adults stroll between the stalls looking for good deals. The atmosphere is family-friendly and relaxed, typical of Gascon village festivals where everyone knows each other and takes the time to chat.
