LMD - Cognac

This is one of the most popular days out with all of our guests. To get to there you can select the cross-country route through the traditional market towns of Aigre and Rouillac or take the N10 dog-leg route South through the préfecture (capital) of the Charente, Angoulême. Regardless of your choice you will have a wonderful day, and by taking a distillery tour, see several opportunities to taste the 'liquor of the gods' as described by Victor Hugo.
