Fréchou (French pronunciation: [fʁeʃu]; Occitan: Lo Hrèisho) is a commune in the Lot-et-Garonne department in south-western France. The town is known for being the site of the pseudo-apparitions that led to the founding of the dissident Traditionalist Catholic schismatic sectarian group Fraternité Notre-Dame.
