Since 1994, Le Bleu de Lectoure has been developing a project to revive pastel (Isatis Tinctoria) through the cultivation, extraction and production of pigment for use in fine arts, decoration and textiles...

By visiting us, you will relive the fascinating history of Isatis tinctoria, a cruciferous plant whose leaves produce an exceptional blue dye. Rightly considered the finest in Europe during the Renaissance, woad forged the legend of the "Land of Plenty" before being overtaken by indigo and ultimately falling out of favor. Today, this young company is passionately committed to a project reviving this ancestral know-how through the cultivation, extraction, and production of the pigment for use in fine arts, decoration, and textiles.
