A land of history and tradition, Albret has lived through the centuries, steeped in the past without ever giving up its modernity. Its heritage, its customs, its quality of life: a land of sharing that is authentically Gascon. Our heritage gems open their doors to you to tell their stories and secrets: the Château Henri IV in Nérac evokes the heyday of Albret in the Renaissance, the fortress of Moulin des Tours in Barbaste and the bastides of Vianne and Lamontjoie revive its medieval past, and the Cork Museum in Mézin passes on its industrial heritage. The emblematic products of the South-West can be tasted at our producers' markets: fruit and vegetables, duck foie gras, Agen prunes and a unique range of wine appellations: Buzet, Côtes de Gascogne and Brulhois wines, as well as Armagnac and Floc de Gascogne! 100% natural escapes invite you to discover a mosaic of landscapes: from short strolls through the vineyards of the Gascony hillsides, to sporting hikes in the Landes forest, to cycling itineraries along the valleys of the Garonne Canal and the Baïse and Gélise rivers. Share unforgettable experiences: go on a treasure hunt with geocaching at Terra Aventura, venture into the trees at the Cap Cauderoue leisure centre, and even take a ride on a tourist train or vélorail. Take to the water on the wild Baïse and Gélise rivers or the calm Canal de Garonne, aboard a houseboat, a touring boat or at the helm of a "gabarot"... A land of conviviality and the festive spirit of Gascony: get moving, meet new people at the heart of the festivities. Here, going out is a way of life! What better way to cool off than with a summer swim! At Lud'O Parc in Nérac, you can splash around in the pools and water games. At the open-air pools in Mézin and Moncrabeau or the indoor pools in Nérac, you can swim laps in complete tranquillity.
