Cognac is a beautiful city in the south-west of France, which is famous for its luxurious drinks. This small town will surprise you with its impressive architecture, delicious restaurants and wonderful people.

Take a stroll through the narrow cobbled streets of the city center to experience the charm of the Vieux cognac (old cognac). Architecture will take you on time in the early years of the salt trade, which marked the beginning of the city's economic growth. Many of the old houses date from the 16th and 17th centuries, demonstrating the eclectic architectural style of the city. Most of the buildings have large windows , indicating the wealth of merchants living in the area at that time. The “new” part of the old city demonstrates dynamic economic and cultural development in the 19th century. This trail, entitled “The Beautiful Age”, begins on Francois I Square and ends at Sadeuille l 'de Ville. While the center is relatively small, there are many charming streets and nice boutiques, so give yourself time to take a walk here.

Take a tour of the cognac factory

With nearly 200 cognac producers in the area, this is definitely the main attraction of Cognac. Cognac houses include such big names as Hennessy, Martell, Rémy Martin and Courvoisier. These four brands produce most of the cognac exported to the countries of the world. Other well-known brands include Otard, Camus, Meukov as well as Delamen (located in the nearby town of Yarnak). Many distilleries offer tours in French and English. However, if you need an English-speaking tour, be sure to book in advance. Martell and Hennessy are very popular tours, as well as Otard tours, where you can visit the old Cognac Castle (the birthplace of King Francois I). However, you should be aware that many distilleries close for the winter, so check the timetable before heading to Cognac.

Walk along the Charente River Embankment

For many years, the banks of the Charente River have been the main business center of the city. King Francois initiated the salt trade in Cognac, making the river an important economic player. Later, all large cognac houses will build their main buildings on the waterfront. Walking along the elegant promenade , you will pass by the port of Cognac, the home of Hennessy, Cognac Castle (now the home of Otard Cognac) and the impressive Tour Saint-Jacques, one of the few times left from the Middle Ages.

Eat great local food

Do you really think that a place with such a reputation for luxury alcohol will not cope with the gastronomic side? There are many excellent restaurants in Cognac, both in the old town and on the other side of the river (in a more peaceful area of Saint-Jacques). We especially liked the L'atelier des quais, where delicious food was accompanied by incredible views of the old part of Cognac . Other recommended restaurants: La Courtine, La Poulpette, L'arty show.

Learn about cognac at the Musée des Arts du Cognac

If you are interested in learning more about brandy production, head to the Cognac Museum of Art. This museum is located in a 16th-century mansion , next to Quai, and contains an impressive number of articles, documents and the audiovisual part of the exhibition, which will help you find out everything you need to know about cognac. The price of the visit is 5 euros and the museum is open daily from 14:00 to 18:00. Address: Les Remparts, Place de la Salle Verte, 16100 Cognac

Visiting the villages around Cognac

Although Cognac is the region’s main city, this is not the only place to make cognac, and definitely not the only one worth visiting. If you want to visit more distilleries, head to Yarnak, the second distillation city in the area. There you can find brandy houses such as Courvoisier, Louis Royer, Haina and Delamain. And this is also the birthplace of former French President Francois Mitterrand. You can visit the museum dedicated to him with all the gifts he received during his presidency. Other beautiful villages in the area are Bassac and Bourg Charente.
