Jerusalem Way: Condom - Lectoure

Today we remain once again throughout the entire stage in the Gers department and will get to know it from its hilly side. About an hour after leaving Condom, we come to the reservoir "Lac de Bousquetara", which brings some variety to the landscape. At Pavail we come across the Chapel Sainte Germaine, which again provides a good reason to take a break.
After having mostly walked in greenery at the beginning, we later come back to roads. In La Romieu we should visit the collegiate church Saint-Pierre, as it has a noteworthy cloister. When we cross the river "Le Gers" towards the end of the stage, we have practically reached the stage town Lectoure. The river "Le Gers" is also the namesake for the department that we will cross for several days.
The stage town Lectoure is one of the oldest settlements in the Gers department. It was once a bishop city and had several pilgrims' hospices, but today no longer holds the former importance. However, the cathedral Saint-Gervais still gives an idea of the significance Lectoure once had.

Note(s)
The "Jerusalem Way / JERUSALEM WAY" is a pilgrimage route network that leads pilgrims from Central Europe to Jerusalem. Jerusalem, along with Rome and Santiago de Compostela, is one of the three most important Christian pilgrimage destinations of the Middle Ages. This path begins at Cape Finisterra on the west coast of Europe and leads either through Italy or along the Danube through the Balkans to Turkey, and from there again on a common route to Jerusalem.
