Visiting France this Summer?

Posted / in News and tagged

If you’re visiting south west France this summer then why not take a trip to the Cognac region?  Steeped in history it has lots of beautiful and interesting places to visit and things to do.  Here are our top 5 suggestions:

  • Stroll around the medieval quarter of Cognac.  It is like going back in time as many of the buildings were inhabited by the early cognac merchants.
  • Take a boat trip down the Charente.  The river plays a vital role in the cognac region’s success.
  • Visit a small cognac house.  For a more intimate insight into the cognac production process.
  • Picnic in the vineyards.  Take to the countryside, find a secluded spot and drink in the scenery.
  • Visit the Musee des Arts du Cognac.  Located in the heart of Old Cognac, discover why cognac has become a way of life for some and a much revered drink for others.

And if you find yourself in the heart of Grande Champagne you might come across our French offices, SARL Hermitage based in a pretty little village called Segonzac.
