Places to Visit

Nerac, there are some stunning restaurants on the canal, this particular one is called they serve a Tarteen dish, and make their own ice-cream and sorbets, their latest ice-cream is brie and another one with curry!! However, I have had the most beautiful flavour ice-creams. The couple that own the restaurant are delightful and the lady is always keen for a chat in fluent English.

The pretty village of Nerac - where Henry IV built for his mistress a magnificent chateau. The village is very pretty, with a lively market, as well as lovely restaurants along the side of the River Baise. Nerac itself is a great place and only about 20 minutes from the house, it is very interesting historically with the most beautiful buildings.

A fantastic market on a Saturday through the centre of town, it has fresh fruit, veggies, seafood, meat, clothes, household wares, furniture etc.
