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.

Thank you very much for what you have written about our ice-cream restaurant. As I often tell people, what I most enjoy in my profession, is... SHARING PLEASURE! So I'm glad to read you had some good time on our terrace. We wish you many more opportunities of good time in France, and particularly in Gascogne.
