Stay in the heart of the comic strip capital
Right in the heart of Angoulême, the family Hotel Epi d’Or guarantees a warm welcome to families staying in the ‘Comic Strip Capital’ of France.
Refurbished in 2010, the bright, spacious bedrooms all have Wifi access and a balcony. And for those with young children in tow, there’s a choice of both triple and family bedrooms.
The breakfast buffet offers both sweet and savoury choices to suit every member of the family. The delicious array of breads and pastries, fruit and dairy produce will provide all the energy you need to explore this historic town.
For a quiet family walk, leave your vehicle in the hotel’s private car park and set off to explore the atmospheric streets. Just a short walk from the hotel, you’ll find Victor Hugo Market where you can taste all kinds of regional specialities.
Your children will love searching for the colourful painted walls adorned with popular cartoon heroes. Then head for the Musée de la Bande Dessinée – the comic strip museum – to get the background story to your favourite comic books and browse the well-stocked shop.
