Nerac, LOT-ET-GARONNE:
The Aquitaine / Lot et Garonne region
There are many beautiful bastide towns to discover, such as the towns of Monflanquin and Villereal.
- One of the finest castles in France is at Chateau Bonaguil and another impressive castle close by at Chateau Biron.
Nerac is beautiful market town to spend a morning exploring, and there are some interesting medieval buildings to discover around the old 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).
Chateau Henry IV at Nerac attracts many visitors to the town, and only a part of the original chateau remains...but it is a very mpressive 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.
The Golf Course:
A genuine green haven in the heart of the Albret country, the Golf course is first and foremost remarkable for its undulating terrain, its track and the natural environment of its setting, dominating both exceptional views and at the same time forming the border with the Landes forest.
It offers many viewpoints or panoramas which are all equally magnificent to stop and admire:
A centenary oak in the middle of the course, a weeping willow on one water hazard, panoramic views over the renovated roofs of the “bastides.
Unfarmed hills on the opposite side of the valley, native trees of the Landes forest, acacias, pines, oaks, all creating a show, with the chance of sighting a hare leaping across your path, or a deer appearing out of a wood, just to Unique view from a high tee shot over the village of Lausseignan and its clock tower emerging from the trees and a glimpse of a few whitewashed facades and wine coloured roof tops.
