Cognac, on the banks of the Charente

Cognac is a charming town located on the banks of the Charente. It is one of the region's must-sees.

Stroll through the town to discover all its treasures and all its historical monuments. We recommend that you go to the quays of the Charente, to see the Saint-Jacques towers, the Château de Cognac, the Saint-Léger church and the Maison de la Lieutenance.

We would advise you too little to stop at a distillery and a Cognac producer's house to learn more about this endemic drink of the region.
