Nérac station, from rail to greenway

Highlight • Other

Once the arrival and departure point for the train, Nérac station is now a prime passage point on the Voie Verte de l’Albret, developed on the former railway line.
Where wagons once ran, pedestrians and cyclists now advance in complete serenity, along a gentle route connecting the villages of Albret.
A testament to the valley's industrial and railway past, the station marks a successful transition between the memory of the rail and today's soft mobility, in the heart of the Baïse landscapes.

In Nérac, the Château Henri IV peacefully overlooks the Baïse and tells the story of a king who became a legend.
Former residence of the lords of Albret, it was the beating heart of the court of Navarre during the Renaissance.
It was here that Henri de Navarre, the future Henri IV, grew up and affirmed his destiny.
Today, the château-museum invites you on a journey between great History and the Gascon art of living.
A stroll along the river, elegant galleries, and royal memories echo each other.
A must-see to understand the soul of Nérac and Albret.

Château de Nérac

Highlight • Castle

Located in the commune of Nérac, in the French department of Lot-et-Garonne, the Château de Nérac is a building in the style of Louis XII and represents the transition between Gothic art and the First Renaissance.

Completed during the reign of Jeanne d'Albret , who held her court there, the castle was dismantled during the French Revolution .

The north wing, the only one that has survived [ 1 ] , was classified as a historical monument [ 1 ] , [ 2 ]  in 1862. It now houses the Nérac Museum , dedicated to the Albret family and the Renaissance in general.

Nérac Old Town and Château d'Henri IV

Highlight • Historical Site

Nérac is, like Amboise, a royal city insofar as the commune is the fief of the lords of Albret who became king of Navarre in the 15th century. It is also the epicentre of Protestantism. After the massacre of Saint Bartholomew, a treaty between the two religions was born in this city. This is the Edict of Nérac which restored rights for Protestants. It was signed on 28 February 1579 between King Henry III and the religionists.

After the death of Henry III in 1589, the city lost its influence, because having no descendants, it was Henri de Navarre-Bourbon-Albret who became king of France under the name of Henri IV. It is then said that when the doors of Paris opened to Henry, those of fame closed for Nérac.
