Lectoure is a small 4,000-inhabitant town in the Gers department of the Midi-Pyrenees, north of Fleurance.  Lectoure sits high above the Gers river, overlooking the paysage, the farming landscape. The main street running through the town has a thermal spa at one end and a large antique market at the other end. In between, there is a large Cathedral of Saint Gervais Saint Protais as well as some interesting 18th century townhomes.
