A visit to the Otard distillery in Cognac.
Steve-H Says: Here we are arriving at the distillery, full of enthusiasm.Cognac looks a very dirty place, in fact it's mould! yup, it's a fungus that permeates everything including the barrels containing the cognac. The story goes that once upon a time the villagers scrubbed it all off...
travelgourmet Says: The smaller Cognac bottler is where to go to get a hands-on, up close, and personal look into the making of Cognac. If you walk or drive around the town of Cognac, you will find a small bottler. They are like Starbucks, one on every corner. Some even have rooms to rent out ,...

sue_stone Says: This restaurant is located in the hotel we stayed at (see hotel review).We had a delicious 3 course meal here and a great bottle of Bordeaux.It wasn't cheap, but worth it.Restaurant has a terrace with views over the valley
Steve-H Says: There are restaurants all over cognac, remember that like the Spanish they like to close in the afternoon and re-open in the evening. The menus were varied and the predominant flavour was locally produced and fresh, the best of everything. I saw this amazing ham slicing...
bugulma Says: I went to Cognac by train from Bordeaux. There were only morning trains and evening trains. Maybe it is in summer time cause of hot weather. Besides I had to change trains in Saintes or in Angouleme. So, it is quite long trip although it was worth while. The ticket from...
Steve-H Says: At each of the Cognac Estates there is a gift shop conveniently located right a the end of the tour and you will be offered samples before you get there. At Remy Martin bottles of Cognac were priced at 50 euros right up to 1300 euros and there are plenty of other goodies to...

Steve-H Says: Although Ebeon is wonderfully isolated and I would surprised to see another page besides mine on VT it isn`t too far from some really great places like Cognac. Don`t forget Ebeon is in the heart of the countryside. Sunflowers, melons, maize and of course grapes are grown all...
Steve-H Says: This is a very old town, in the 10th century it was a modest little village until it started trading it's eaux-de-viw with the rest of the world.Take your time to look around, look up at the half-timbered houses, notice how small some of the doorways are, there is history...
Elizabeth.H Says: The thing I remember most about Cognac is the site: Camping de Cognac. Where can you go and have the Charente flowing past your front door? The river abounds with fish and many wild life species visit the river. We fed the ducks, fish and swans every day. The many woderful...
bugulma Says: Jardin Public is situated in the nothern part of the town, not far from its central part. It is nice place to walk around and to have a bit freshness in the hot days. There is open-air theatre in the park as well as the town museum and town hall.
