Stayed over in Cognac in June last year on a car trip down to Biarritz. I liked the sound of Cognac and I wasn't dissapointed. The town was dominated by the big brandy houses like Hennesey Martell. Though like most small provincial French towns it was like a scene from a post nuclear disaster movie. Where are all the people in France?? The pattiseries are absolutely bulging with cakes and bread and pastries , all the time. Who the hell buys them. I have never seen anyone in a shop in France and they only open for about 3 hours a week!!
Still, on the day we were in Cognac it was absolutely boiling hot. A precursor to the 10 days of pissing rain we encountered in Biarritz. Ah well!! That'll teach me to go to the South of France in June in search of sun.
