Cognac

City

Overview

The town of Cognac is a charming and historic city on the banks of the River Charente, birthplace of the 16th-century King Francis I, and best-known for the eponymous brandy which is produced in the city and its immediate environs – the houses of Remy Martin, Martell, Hennessy and Otard are all in the city centre and the Kirker Concierge can organise visits. Fly to Bordeaux and it is just 90 minutes’ drive – passing through the vineyards of the Medoc – or take the train: Bordeaux is only 35 minutes and Paris just over two hours by TGV to Angoulême, a 40-minute drive from the hotel.
