Here we find the ruins of the castle of Merpins. In the Middle Ages, it was an important medieval fortress, in what is now Merpins-Vieux-Bourg. A stopover is essential!

Historic Center of Cognac

Highlight • Historical Site

Cognac is a beautiful, wealthy town where the future François 1st was born (hence the house of the same name). This wealth comes mainly from the pineau and cognac trade…

It was in the 15th century that this distillation process appeared to better preserve these wines which were sent throughout Europe and in particular to the countries of the Hanseatic League where this "burnt wine", brandevin or brandy is very appreciated, most often cut off from water.

In Cognac, the Henessy, Rémy Martin, Courvoisier and Martell houses have numerous buildings. I also passed in a town next to an old building used as a cellar, a very pleasant smell emanated from it.

Cognac Castle

Highlight • Monument

On the banks of the Charente, the Château de Cognac symbolizes the town's reputation. Today a Cognac House, it welcomes visitors to help them discover its history, but also that of the eaux-de-vie produced there.
