This wonderful new tour, based in the west of France, visits some of the wonderful towns of this beautiful region made famous but its two principle exports: wine and brandy. There is also a rich legacy to discover with each of the towns offering up its own delights to explore - Cognac (our base), with its old cobbled streets and brandy warehouses; elegant 18th century Bordeaux with its World Heritage historic quarter; maritime history old and new in La Rochelle and Rochefort; and the Roman, medieval and classical heritage of Saintes. You will stay in the heart of Cognac, close to all the restaurants and the medieval quarter, which is perfect for an evening stroll. You will of course also be close to the world famous brandy houses, where you will be able to enjoy a tasting!
