A lovely town with amazing architecture built on the wealth from the years of Cognac production, once again straddling the River Charente. The town offers a Cognac Experience that people travel the world to experience. With the main cognac houses such as Hennessy, Martell, Remy Martin, Courvoisier and Camus all having visitor centres, tasting houses and vineyard tours. Cognac is big business in this area and many of the Cognac houses are still in their original family ownership. Taking their trade very seriously, annual turnovers can exceed 100million a year each! Cognac has a huge array of bars and restaurants, a golf course and a lovely park and out door pool for the little ones.
