In 1598, King Henry IV- who was raised a Protestant- issued the Edict of Nantes, granting religious freedom in most of France. It basically established civil rights for the Huguenots, Calvinist Protestants within predominantly Roman Catholic France. It allowed Protestants to live and worship anywhere except in Paris and a few other cities. Henry's law stopped the religious wars in France, but resentment between Catholics and Protestants continued.
Louis XIV believed that France should be all one religion and not have different beliefs and ideologies, thus he declared that the Edict of Nantes, which permitted the presence of non-Catholics (Protestants) in France, would be revoked.
It gave basic rights to Protestants (Huguenots) living in France, which was a Catholic country and had long persecuted it's non-Catholic minorities.
It allowed them to practice their faith and offered protection from the inquisition but still forced observance of Catholic Holy days and some church laws, the Protestants still had to pay tithes and so on, but it did permit the Protestants to set up "safe" cities and places to prevent or a least slow down any further violence against them as had happened previously.
The Edict of Nantes is a Decloration. It was from the French king Henry IV. The Edict of Nantes promised protestants that they could live peacefully. Also that they could establish houses of worship if they wanted to.
