In that respect, N\u00eemes did not leave him with fond memories.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yet his attachment to his \u00abnative land\u00bb never wavered. As well as his taste for aubergines, figs and walnuts, he maintained a solid network of personal and political friendships throughout his life in the Gard: the members of parliament <a class=\"linkin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.guizot.com\/en\/friends\/achille-de-daunant\/\" title=\"Read\" l'article sur achille de daunant\">Daunant<\/a> and Chabaud-Latour, long-time friends of the Guizot family, the mayor of N\u00eemes Girard and many others.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.guizot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/1800c-e1276613561176-300x193.jpg\" class=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-795\" title=\"Square House of N\u00eemes\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guizot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/1800c-e1276613561176-300x193.jpg\" alt=\"Maison Carr\u00e9e N\u00eemes\" width=\"300\" height=\"193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.guizot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/1800c-e1276613561176-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.guizot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/1800c-e1276613561176.jpg 564w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 1849, it was in N\u00eemes that he would have liked to relaunch his political career. He tried to get his son Guillaume's career off the ground there, and in 1860 he married Gabrielle Verdier de Flaux, a daughter of a very good local family, in the N\u00eemes temple. It was on this occasion that Guizot made his last visit to his home town, speaking before the Acad\u00e9mie du Gard, of which he had been a member for 53 years. In 1855, a street named after him was opened near his father's house, and it still exists today.
