Angoulême
France, France
Angoulême is a historic city in southwestern France's Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, perched on a rocky plateau above the Charente River, with roots tracing back to Roman times as a fortified settlement.
Once the capital of the Angoumois county, it endured sieges during the Hundred Years' War and religious conflicts, featuring landmarks like the Romanesque Saint-Pierre Cathedral with its ornate facade and remnants of medieval ramparts offering panoramic views.
Renowned today as the "City of Comics" for its annual international festival, it blends medieval heritage with vibrant cultural life amid charming old streets and paper-making history.
