Nérac, Lot et Garonne, Aquitaine Today's photos feature (July 22 2007) Nérac, in the Lot et Garonne, is a lively town of around 7000, and boasts a very good Sunday market as well as the delightful Baise river, that has a number of quaint and welcoming restaurants. The town was a Gascony humanistic centre creating the ideology that became the reformation. It was at the chateau - all that remains is a Renaissance gallery with the twisted columns, that Marguerite d'Angouleme wrote Heptaméron which is a variation of Boccacio's Décaméron. Even the writer George Sand lived here. The Baise has been used for transportation since the 13th century - take one of the tourist cruises to enjoy the beauties of the area. Whilst in Nerac - dine at Aux Delices du Roy - a recommended Nerac fish restaurant
