"COGNAC" a Cognac Travel Page by bugulma

I was in cognac with a day trip to wal aroud the city as well as to see castles related with cognac producing story. Besides Lionel told I can get interesting excursions to see how cognac is producing as well as to taste drink and to buy it as a souvenir to my friends.
The settlements was founded here in Roman times.
In XII-XVI centuries the town was a part of Angouleme kingdom and the center of salt industry. In the end of XV century Cognac was a residence for the king Francois I. In the middle of XVII century the town became a part of France as well as cognac drink producing traditions were begun.

One of the main impressions about the town was hot weather and even my camera felt it and made only such shots cause of problem with optic :-( That happened in the midday and I couldn't get well-made shots of the castles.
