10 a.m. Velo Bianchi infinito tour of the Biron castle in the Dordogne

Duras Castle, located in Lot-et-Garonne, is a restored medieval fortress boasting remarkable architecture and magnificent views. It is a major historical monument in the region.

Bonaguil is home to an ancient 13th-century fortified castle of the same name. The town offers a beautiful setting for a stopover. It also hosts a festival every August, featuring wonderful plays.

Small medieval town of Pujol which is magnificent! It is quiet, it is very relaxing! We don't want to leave! Next time I would like to stay there to eat!!

The medieval town of Pujol is worth the climb to reach it: it's pretty, old, I would have loved to stop at the creperie, the setting is great!! (but I still had 120 km to do...)

Now in ruins, the Château de Gavaudun owes its particularity to the elongated rock on which it was built in the 12th century. Nearby, the châteaux of Biron and Bonaguil invite you to take a beautiful bike ride to discover the region's heritage.

Nice climb up to Duras, best enjoyed at a comfortable pace being sure to keep something in reserve to blast out over the top!

Nérac is, like Amboise, a royal city insofar as the commune is the fief of the lords of Albret who became king of Navarre in the 15th century. It is also the epicentre of Protestantism. After the massacre of Saint Bartholomew, a treaty between the two religions was born in this city. This is the Edict of Nérac which restored rights for Protestants. It was signed on 28 February 1579 between King Henry III and the religionists. After the death of Henry III in 1589, the city lost its influence, because having no descendants, it was Henri de Navarre-Bourbon-Albret who became king of France under the name of Henri IV. It is then said that when the doors of Paris opened to Henry, those of fame closed for Nérac.
