Fête du Melon
It’s time to celebrate the locally grown Melon de Lectoure. In previous years the tasting sessions have taken place outside the post office in Lectoure, but this year the stalls offering this delicious local delicacy will be set up in front of the tourist office on the newly refurbished, and very attractive, place du Général de Gaulle. The dates are six consecutive Sundays starting on 12 July until 16 August.
As well as being able to visit the beautiful town of Lectoure and sample the melons you’ll find other local producers have been invited along, so you can try or buy a wide selection of local cheeses and honey, traditional duck delicacies and other locally grown fruit and vegetables.
The annual official Melon Day will be held on Friday 14 August with a celebratory meal in the evening.
