Overview

Angouleme, the french comic-strip capital

Stroll along the ramparts of French city Angoulême, where intricate murals and quirky cartoons brighten building façades. France is a comic-mad country, and Angoulême is the centre of the bande dessinée world, home to the glass-panelled National Comic Strip Centre and exuberant International Comics Festival.

About France

After having a walk along the 4th, 13th and 16th century ramparts, what about discovering the St Peter’s cathedral. Dating back to the 12th century, the building was modified several times. But this one stays a great example of the regional romanesque architecture and sculpture.

If you are fond of religious architecture, you will have a lot to visit and you may be spoiled for choice, between remains of abbeys such as the St Ausonne ruins, or other churches such as the St André’s one. In a totally different style, wander around the covered market. Its architecture of glass and iron echoes the Baltard Pavillon near Paris.

You can also admire the Town Hall, keeping some remains of the medieval castle built here before. Its crenellated towers remind of a fortress. Around Angoulême, nature lovers will be happy to find the Charente valley, which provides very pleasant footpathes and landscapes.

Getting from cdg to limoges by train, then a local rental car?

Pretty Nice Way to Travel | Marie-france a. | 8 June 2014
"It was a nice trip, left and arrived on time and our reservation was honored. A couple of suggestions that will make travel a bit easier for foreigners that are not that familiar with the French system. First, get rid of that composting system. It does not seem to serve any useful purpose, except for the composting machine vendors. Also, improve your web sight. It is not very intuitive and gave apparently incorrect instructions. We made and paid on line and got an email that said that we would be sent a message confirming our ticket within two days. It never arrived so we got nervous about whether we had been scammed and had to go to the station to pick up the tickets. Finally, it would be good to make the voiture numbers more evident, they are hard to find and see. "
