Nerac
Nerac is a town on the southern edge of the Lot-et-Garonne department of south-west France.
Without major highlights (except the castle) it is nonetheless a pleasant town to spend a morning exploring, and there are some interesting medieval buildings to discover around the town which lies on both sides of the Baise River.
The cluster of buildings just north of the Vieux Pont is a good place to start, then explore the section of the town south of the river and between the two bridges (behind and south of the castle).
It is the Chateau Henry IV at Nerac that attracts most visitors to the town, and only a part of the original chateau remains...but it is a very impressive wing of the original castle, with an outward curving wall and an arcaded balcony with decorative columns running along the first floor level.
The castle now houses a museum tracing the history of the region, and in particular of the Albret region - the historically important region that had Nerac as capital and lay on the northern edge of Gascony.
Like other historical region names (Gascony, Perigord, Quercy) the Albret name is now used in much tourist information to describe the region around Nérac (and Castejaloux).
