The map
About this Cognac map poster
Cognac lies on the Charente river in south-western France, and the river gives the town its shape. From above, the medieval centre climbs gently from the left bank, a close tangle of narrow streets around the château, while newer districts spread out on both sides. Bridges cross the Charente, and the quays and warehouses of the spirit houses line the water.
The town gave its name to the brandy distilled in the surrounding vineyards, and houses such as Hennessy, Martell and Rémy Martin are based here. The château was the birthplace of King Francis I in 1494. On many old walls you can see a dark coating, a fungus that feeds on the alcohol evaporating from the ageing barrels.
A Cognac map poster brings together the curve of the Charente, the tight streets of the old town and the wider avenues around it. The river runs clearly across the frame, and the composition feels balanced and calm, well suited to a town known for patience and slow ageing.

Medieval quarter
Near the château, narrow, winding streets form a dense cluster, the historic core from which the rest of the town developed.
Cognac house quays
Along the river, large cellars and warehouses occupy long, regular plots that stand out clearly against the finer street pattern.
