Welcome in La Romieu
Presentation
La Romieu is a small town situated in the north of the Gers, in Gascony.

It was in 1082, returning from a pilgrimage to Rome, that two German monks decided to stop and create a sauveté in these places. In the XIV century, Arnaud d'Aux Lescout built in his village a beautiful collegiate church for him and his family (private church). In the XIV century, La Romieu became a bastide and its arcaded square is today decorated with many stone cats , placed on the windows of homes, telling the legend of Angeline and her cats.

 - The church of Saint-Pierre La Romieu (cloisters, towers) is now listed Historical Monument and World Heritage of Humanity by UNECO. His wonderful cloister, its single nave church, and its two towers are now a jewel in the merveillous heritage of the Gers.One of the two towers contains also an architectural treasure: a double staircase. It is today open to visitors all year.

 - In the town, you can also find a great private botanical garden open to visitors, the gardens of Coursiana. This park has four gardens: an arboretum of 700 species, an English garden, a garden of medicinal plants, aromatics and parfum and a vegetable garden.

 - At last, the village also offers many marvels. Its arcaded square, the Gothic fountain and Lavoir, many private churches ( private property), and the ruins of the palace of Cardinal are now houses. Fortified village, there is now very many traces of its old configuration (North Gate, foothills, ...)

La Romieu is a city European stage of the Ways of Saint Jacques de Compostela. In 1998, the Road beetwen Lectoure, La Romieu, Condom, ( 33 km) was classified as World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The path of Rocamadour (GR 652) and the path of Puy-en-Velay (GR 65) meet at La Romieu.
