Travelling to Angoulême

Travel to Angoulême

Between La Rochelle and Bordeaux, perches Angoulême, looking out over the plains of the Poitou Charente region in the south west of France. The patronage of the local Valois family during the 16th century made Angoulême into the cultural intellectual and artistic centre which it remains today. Internationally known for the Comic Book Festival in Angoulême, the art of the bande dessinée is firmly rooted in Angoulême: the capital of comic books and graphic novels in France.
