Bonjour from Nérac! 🐻✨
🐾
Join me in this charming market town in Southwestern France which is full of history, half-timbered houses, and the kind of relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to slow down and soak it all in
🐾
Nérac sits along the Baïse River, with its beautiful old stone bridge arching over the water. Strolling along the riverbanks, I could almost picture the days of King Henry IV, who spent much of his childhood here. The town was once an important royal residence, and you can still visit the remains of Château de Nérac, which was once home to Henry and his wife, Queen Margot! 🏰
🐾
Saturday is Market day in Nérac and it's a feast for the senses! The region is known for its delicious prunes, Armagnac brandy, and duck-based delicacies (though I prefer my snacks of the marmalade variety! 🍊). The Saturday morning market is the best time to experience local life—filled with fresh produce, artisan cheeses, those famous Agen prunes and lots friendly chatter
🐾
There’s something magical about wandering through Nérac’s narrow streets, past beautiful stone archways, medieval façades, and hidden courtyards. Have you ever visited a small town that felt like it was straight out of history? Let me know in the comments! 🐾✨
