VISITE GUIDÉE CHATEAU COMTAL

Posted at the end of the rocky spur, on which Lectoure sits, the castle of the Counts of Armagnac watches over. You have probably already heard about the "civil" war between Burgundians and Armagnacs, roughly speaking its outcome will be the revolt led by Joan of Arc. The House of Armagnac took up residence in Lectoure in the heart of the 14th century. A palace, the house of Sainte Gemme and especially the castle will successively welcome the Counts until the end of the 15th century and their fall... Of the initial castle remain the West wing, the sparrow (not the bird) and the bastion. To be discovered without delay!
