Lectoure is the nearest town to the venue and is in the Gers department of the Midi-Pyrenees, north of Fleurance and east of Condom.
Lectoure (and our venue) is in the region of Gascony and is a great area of France for foodies. There’s loads of great wine and food shops in Lectoure, as well a huge market on Friday mornings that you can head to.
We’d also recommended these restaurants and bars:
- Le Restaurant de Bastard
- Le Cochon Bleu
Thermes de Lectoure - There’s also an amazing thermal spa in the centre of Lectoure which is about €9-€12 entry. Great for a post hog roast hangover!
Visit the Cave de Lectouroise where we chose our wines for the wedding to pick up some very cheap and yummy wines from the local chateaux.
What to bring with you
Here’s your basic packing list:
- Mosquito repellent and/or mosquito plugs for the room (Doug Houston is a huge fan of these)
- Swimming costume (there’s a pool in the village)
- Tennis racket (there’s a tennis court)
- Additional towel to use at the pool or at the river beaches in the local area.
1. Do I need to buy any food or drink for the Village?
We'll be providing breakfast every morning and will provide a little welcome bundle in each of the cottages. Feel free to bring a bottle to the pool party!
2. Where is the ceremony and the reception?
Both are at Castelnau des Fieumarcon - if you are staying at the Castelnau you can walk to and from the event. If you are staying outside locally, you can get local taxis which we’ll provide details for.
