The Edict of Nantes guranteed religious freedom to the Huguenots (protestants) of France.
For the Catholics it reaffirmed the Catholic Church as the established Church of France and mandated the tithe even for the Huguenots. These Calvinists were still required to observe all Catholic holidays but were free to practice their faith in a limited number of French cities. The Edict protected protestants from the Inquisition and charges of heresy and ended the restrictions on employment. It was an imperfect document but it ended the Wars of Religion.

The Edict of Nantes allowed for Protestants to live in France with many of the same rights as Catholics had (as opposed to being persecuted as they were before). This was positive step for religious tolerance, but was far from full equality and said nothing about other religions such as Judaism, Islam, or Orthodox Christianity.
They had grown accustomed to the free practice of their religion and they were now required to become Catholics, escape or risk death.
