Cognac is in the Charente department, between Angouleme and Saintes.

The name Cognac is of course known the world over for the brandy produced in the region, and it is that that attracts many of the visitors. But Cognac the town is also worthy of your attention in between your tasting sessions.

Cognac 'old town' - the medieval part of the town - has a plethora of narrow cobbled streets, hemmed in by attractive houses from the 15th to 18th centuries, and a multitude of brandy maturing warehouses.

The town owes its success to Francois I (he granted the town a licence to trade in salt), and it is his symbol - the salamander - that you can see carved on many of the houses.

Other highlights in the town include the remains of the Château des Valois and Saint-Léger church.

Cognac has various museums, according to your interests; an Art and History Museum; a Museum of the Arts of Cognac; and the St Gobain glassworks, which you can visit to see where the bottles are made to contain all that Cognac.
