The walls of the Maison forte de Capchicot have seen royal visits during the stay of Henri IV in Nérac.

In the Lot-et-Garonne department of France, the Maison forte de Capchicot sits on the Chemin de Capchicot. This historic manor was constructed during the 16th century and the early 17th century.

The building served as a hunting meeting place for Henri IV, the King of Navarre, during his stay in Nérac between 1577 and 1587. It is located in the commune of Allons.

The édifice was officially listed as a historical monument in 1998. It remains a preserved site that marks the presence of the French monarchy in the region during the late 16th century.
