Apart from its numerous street markets selling local produce, and its many shops, restaurants, and bars, Lectoure is also a spa town, and has a thermal bath and beauty centre situated in the converted 18th century hotel. Here you can enjoy the hydrotherapy pools with hot mineral-rich thermal waters, saunas, cures and massages.
Every day of the week, one of the nearby towns or villages hosts a market, with local produce in abundance, from foie gras, poultry, Armagnac, and wine, to honey, grapes, melons and local crafts. There are also markets specialising in fresh foie gras only, and night-time markets and gourmet evenings. Most villages organise summer fetes and festivals. There are events all year round, including motor racing at Nogaro, bull fighting at Vic-Fezensac, the famous jazz festival at Marsiac, and numerous wine and flower festivals.
There are also excellent golf courses nearby, cycling tours, horse riding and river rafting on the waterways of the River Baise that twist through this historical landscape.
From Casteyre, it is a short drive to the medieval market town of Condom, with its magnificent cathedral, shops, cafés and restaurants. The larger historical towns of Agen (famous for its prunes), riverside Auch, and Nérac are also within easy reach; further afield are the buzzing cities of Bordeaux and Toulouse. Only two and a half hours away are the Pyrénées, offering skiing, walking, hiking and rafting. Also within reach for a day trip is the seaside resort of Biarritz , with its historical port and town centre, miles of beaches and great surfing.
