🚦 On the Voie Verte, this former level crossing recalls the time when trains set the rhythm of life in the valley. Today, bikes have replaced the rails, but the story continues to be read in the landscape. 🚲🌿

In Nérac, the Château Henri IV peacefully overlooks the Baïse and tells the story of a king who became a legend. Former residence of the lords of Albret, it was the beating heart of the court of Navarre during the Renaissance.
