Angoulême the sweetness of life of a town in the countryside

Ready to go?

The mild climate and the breeze of the Charente river make Angoulême a destination of choice in any season. Curious to visit the comic strip capital with the CFL? The train awaits you.

A sweet and authentic way of life

Between La Rochelle and Lyon, the town of the Charente welcomes you under a blue sky. Find a little bit of Montmartre in the cobblestone streets of Old Angoulême. Feeling peckish?  Want to let yourself be won by the roasted notes of a good coffee on a terrace? Pass by the Place des Halles or the Place Francis Louvel to enjoy the beginning of a stay whose key word is «relaxation».

With its two-towered Town Hall, old castle, and in a successful mix of medieval, renaissance and classical, the historic center is a real architectural gem. To enjoy the monuments and gardens of the city, stroll along the ramparts. At the turn of a few streets, here and there, the city is revealed in a playful and original way, offering a circuit composed of several painted walls. Notice to photo enthusiasts!

An emphasis on culture

Organizing the Comic Strip Festival or the Film Festival every year, Angoulême gives a great deal of importance to culture and the arts. Between exhibitions, workshops, conferences, throughout the city, starting with the “chais” on the edge of the Charente, find your happiness.

A nature destination

By bike or on foot, cross Angouleme from side to side, through the «Coulée Verte» a 17 km long hiking trail. From the upper town, do not miss to go down to the banks of the Charente. In season, find a canoe to rent or opt for a guided cruise on the ship La Reine Margot.
