Visiting Angoul\u00eame<\/strong> means looking out for comic strip characters around street corners, strolling along the ramparts and heading down to the River Charente below. It\u2019s a compact city we love coming back to, as much for a wander as to see our loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Matthieu is from Angoul\u00eame<\/strong> and his family still lives there. As for me, I studied at the IUT (university institute of technology) there for two years. We regularly spend weekends and holidays there with our family and friends. After our ten months travelling around Europe in a motorhome, we even spent part of the summer there to take the time to rediscover the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Wondering what to do in Angoul\u00eame in one day<\/strong>? We\u2019ve put together our ten must-sees, our favourite places and a walking itinerary with a map. Everything you need to choose what to visit and explore the city with our local tips. Let us show you around!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why visit Angoul\u00eame?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s more to Angoul\u00eame than its comic strip<\/strong> festival. Its murals, narrow streets and panoramic views from the ramparts can be enjoyed all year round. Our itinerary lets you explore both the historic centre and the banks of the Charente in a single day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

If it rains, the comic strip museum<\/strong> is a great fallback option. And when it\u2019s time for a tasty break, there\u2019s also pineau, cognac, truffles, melon in season and the Marguerite en chocolat d\u2019Angoul\u00eame<\/strong>, which you can try at Duceau on Place de l\u2019H\u00f4tel de Ville. This is no time to start a diet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
