    • Nestled in the heart of the Charente region is Cognac, a town whose name resonates throughout the world. More than just a place, it is the epicenter of a centuries-old tradition, that of making the famous eau-de-vie. It is here, on the banks of the Charente, that the precious liquid is distilled from white wines, then patiently aged for many years in oak barrels.

      But Cognac is not just about its beverage. The town itself is an architectural time capsule. Its cobbled streets reveal mansions with sumptuous facades, witnesses to the wealth of cognac merchants of centuries past. The Château de Cognac, a medieval fortress transformed into an elegant residence, is a must-see.

      Walking along the river, you can admire the old cellars and imagine the gabares, these traditional boats, which once transported barrels to distant ports. The city lives to the rhythm of the cognac houses, whose prestigious names like Hennessy, Martell, Rémy Martin or Courvoisier, are emblems of French excellence.

      To visit Cognac is to immerse yourself in a story of know-how, trade and heritage, where each stone and each scent tells a part of the legend of this exceptional eau-de-vie.
