STORIES

Though famous for its eaux-de-vie, Cognac has roots stretching back to the Roman Empire. A thriving merchant town since the Middle Ages, it comes to life through the richness of its architectural detail: linger along the banks of the Charente River, wander through charming cobblestone streets, and spot the salamander insignia of King François Ier, the city's most illustrious son.
