Lectoure, Historical commune in Gers, France

Located in southwestern France, Lectoure stands on a limestone ridge at an elevation of 182 meters above the Gers river valley.

The ancient settlement functioned as the capital of the County of Armagnac from 1325 and underwent a significant siege by Cardinal Jean de Jouffroy in 1473.

The former Cathedral of Saint-Gervais-et-Saint-Protais, constructed between the 12th and 16th centuries, displays architectural elements from multiple periods.

The town provides educational facilities including two colleges and three high schools, with six general practitioners serving the local population of 3,690 residents.

Lectoure forms part of the Via Podiensis pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, connecting travelers from Le Puy through southwestern France.
