Art History Music Culture

Museums Architecture Festivals

There's a strong emphasis here on The Arts, and many local towns are not short on their museums, annual events and festivals to make their own particular mark on the discerning visitor.

Angouleme was the second city to be taken by the Germans and has a wealth of history and museums related to the Resistence Movement. Nearby Oradour sur Glane reminds us of the horrors of war in monumental fashion, while other towns more quietly mark the passage of time with their Roman Architechture and Medieval Buildings.

Medieval Confolens is host to a spectacular international Music Festival steeped in costume and culture and the Cognac Blues Festival is no less beguiling and engaging.

The world famous vineyards of Bordeaux and of St. Emilion in particular are a must for those who are even slighlty interested in the ryhme, reason and meticulous ritual of hand-picked grape to Grand Cru.

Wine tasting, cheesemaking, chocolate factories, brandy sampling, craft galleries, night markets, medieval churches, magnificent chateaux, monkeys, wolves, restaurants, futuristic worlds, empty beaches, cafes, parks & gardens, picturesque villages ~ all waiting to be discovered and explored by you!
