Tips from the Community
Don't miss La Romieu to greet Angeline and the cats. I didn't see any, at least not alive ones. I didn't stop there either. To get there, I took the 6 km road; you can also get there via the GR (Greater French National Trail). Its Saint-Pierre collegiate church, a 14th-century Gothic masterpiece listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is imposing. Now for the legend... Around 1342, a terrible famine struck La Romieu. The starving inhabitants went so far as to eat all the cats in the village, thinking they were preserving their meager resources. But a little girl named Angeline, an orphan taken in by a local couple, adored cats. She hid two in the cellar, secretly feeding them, and then they bred. A little later, with all the cats gone, the village was invaded by thousands of rats, destroying the meager grain reserves and causing an even worse disaster. It was then that Angeline freed her cats. They multiplied again, drove out the rats, and saved the village. Angeline was honored by the villagers, and according to legend, her face took on the appearance of a cat, with feline features—a magical transformation to thank her love and loyalty to cats. Today, in tribute to this story, numerous cat statues adorn the streets, facades, and rooftops of the village.

The castle consists of two bodies placed next to each other at right angles. At the two corners of the first body, covered with a gable roof, lower than the second body, there are two cylindrical projecting turrets, the crown of which (certainly a pepperpot roof) has disappeared. Mullions appear on the upper floor, while simple openings open, probably later, on the ground floor.

The castle was built in 1582 by François Georget, sculptor and surveyor, for Bertrand du Bousquet, president of the court of Condom.

The Occitan town of Lectoure is one of the stations that we reach or cross as pilgrims on the Way of St. James (Chemin de Saint-Jaques), the VIA PODIENSIS. It is the goal of the 19th stage (according to the count of the "Rother") coming from St.Antoine, the next day it goes on to Condom.

This castle, called "gentilhommière", was built in 1582. It is small but perfectly formed.

Located on the road to Santiago de Compostela (GR 65 coming from Puy-en-Velay), La Romieu is on the historic Lectoure-La Romieu-Condom section and receives a large number of pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela every year.

In addition to the monastery and the village itself, there is also a large botanical garden of about 6ha. For example, you will find the Arboretum, an English garden and a garden with all kinds of medicinal plants. There are separate but also combined tickets for access to the monastery and the botanical garden. And finally, of course, having a drink on a terrace under the watchful eye of Angeline and her cats...
