Cognac

The town of Cognac that sits in the Charente region of western France is well-known for producing internationally-sold brandy. Some labels are made in distilleries others in the cellars of 15th century French homes. Entering into this medieval town the Charente River, rows of vines, and grazing cattle greets its visitors into this picturesque town. Walking through the narrow streets are medieval framed homes, the 'King's balcony,' and local white stone arches seen randomly throughout the town.
