Cognac Centre of the cognac industry and perpetually scented with its heady aroma. All the old buildings that store the fine brandy are stained with a black fungus that grows on the alcohol laden fumes (the 'angel's share'). This medieval town is a pleasant place to visit and a tour of the cognac makers such as Hennessey is well worthwhile, leaving you astonished at the far-sightedness of laying down the best wines for fifty years or more and the skill of the blenders in combining the best vintages.

Saintes Located on the banks of the Charente river, this 2000 year old town was once the Roman capital of southwestern France. The presence of one of the oldest remaining amphitheaters as well as Roman baths, which may be visited, attests to this. Between visits to the cathedral of St-Pierre and the church of St-Eutrope, be sure to stroll through the wonderful medieval city of narrow streets and markets |
