A summer weekend in Cognac

A summer weekend in Cognac
This family's experience:

Activities: We went to Cognac and lost ourselves through the different points of interest of the city: the Château Royal de Cognac, the Pont neuf, the halles, the chais, the Couvent des Récollets, or the Saint-Léger church

Highlights: It's a dynamic city, which harmoniously links the old and the modern. It's a pleasure to walk everywhere. "Whatever the season you come to Cognac, there will always be an event not to be missed: exhibitions, concerts, sound and light shows, the theatre festival "les 3 coups de Jarnac", the Cognac marathon, street shows in September or the Polar Festival" ✨
