Château de Nérac, Renaissance castle in Nérac, France

The northern wing of the Château de Nérac stands above the Baïse river, featuring twisted Renaissance columns and large windows facing the water.

The castle became a center of power under Jeanne d'Albret in the 16th century, before her son Henry III of Navarre inherited the French throne as Henry IV.

The castle museum displays Renaissance furniture, period tableware, and artifacts that showcase the lifestyle of French nobility during the 16th century.

The museum offers interactive experiences where visitors can discover Renaissance perfumes, spices, and culinary traditions through sensory activities.

The first floor contains a complete scale model of the original castle, showing its four wings before the French Revolution caused its partial demolition.
