About the location
We're in a very peaceful area and within comfortable walking distance to the city centre. There are bakeries, supermarkets, daily market and much more all very close by.
The house is a 15/20min walk from the train station and a car is not required for visiting (unless you have mobility constraints).
Easily accessible via train: Under 2hrs from Paris (Montparnasse line), 3 hours from Paris CDG (direct train), and 30mins from Bordeaux. Poitiers airport also close (40 min direct train). There is also a direct 30 minute train to Cognac.
Angoulême is a UNESCO creative city, thanks to its world-famous comic book festival (Festival International de la BD) and rich, exciting art scene. There are art galleries, museums and regular pop up exhibitions/shops throughout the city. There are also colourful murals to discover all over the city - keep your eyes peeled! Angoulême also has a rich literary tradition and history and you may enjoy visiting its famous paper factory and museum. Its cathedral (recently restored front) is also a sight to behold.
The old part of the city (20 minute walk) is a labyrinth of quaint, cobbled streets. There you will find all manner of bars, restaurants, cafes and artisanal shops to enjoy.
