Midi-Pyrénées, Gers, Lectoure, France

This beautiful and historical building sits in the heart of Lectoure, one of the most beloved towns in Gascony, renowned for its wealth of shops, brocantes, and eclectic restaurants and tea-rooms. Lectoure is infused with life all year round, with a theatre, cinema and thermal centre, as well as a casino for those who fancy a flutter.

This property sits in the heart of the historical centre of town with all its hustle and bustle, and yet provides a serene and tranquil home to its current owner, who has infused life into the property and much artistic flair respecting both the history of the building and the local architecture of Lectoure. The property is impressive in size, impeccably decorated with perfect colours throughout discreet chalky whites, creams and beiges. Subtle colours that capture the sunlight from the outside, and cast a magical hue as we glide from room to room admiring the period features. On the upper level at least, these feel in style more 17th and 18th century, with the old terra-cotta flooring, original fireplaces, high ceilings and tall windows. The foundations of the property, however, are very much rooted in the 13th century.
