ANGOULEME
Capital of the image
Prefecture of Charente department, a city of history perched on a spur and sheltered behind its ramparts has conserved the proportions of a small town.
The human scale wins the visitor over at first glance; you park your car to stroll down the paved streets and navigate the short lanes radiating from comely squares.
Angoulême overlooks a pristine green countryside. At its feet, the Charente flows.
You will be pleased to stop and sit down at the tables of the small restaurants in the old restored neighborhoods.
You will adore the painted walls that visitors may behold along the streets! A circuit allows you to discover true works of art at every street corner.
With the signatures of Yslaire, Zep and Mœbius, they place the comic strip and the image in the heart of the city.
