The Cognac Cruise

Jarnac > Rochefort > Jarnac

Cruise to Saint Brice and visit its castle, which has a unique Renaissance façade. Relax with a picnic in the pretty park or tee off at the town’s golf course on the banks of the river.

Catch the scent of cognac in the air at the elegant town of Cognac – the roofs on the houses are turned ambercoloured by the alcohol vapours in the air. Join a guided tour of the famous distilleries and enjoy free tasting sessions to help you decide to buy! Continue to Saintes and discover amazing archaeological finds including Roman columns, frescoes and statues. Visit the excellent maritime museums at Rochefort to learn about its historic sailing and rope-making past before dining on excellent seafood platters by the sea. The River Charente becomes tidal after St. Savinien.
