On the slopes of Charente, producers share their know-how during epicurean meetings, events, off-beat tours, demonstrations and tastings showcasing the French way of life.
From its promontory, Angoulême overlooks the Charente River in an atmosphere reminiscent of the South of France.
Following a long tradition in the paper industry, Angoulême has become THE capital of French comic books, known as bande dessinée, and now boasts an international festival and over 30 street artworks dotted across the city.
Its Romanesque cathedral and treasury, water sports and bike trails are not to be missed, and are easily accessible thanks to the city’s excellent rail network!
