Partly occupying the Perrin de Boussac residence (1567) on one side and abutting the 17C ramparts on the other, this resolutely contemporary facility houses a remarkable museum dedicated to cognac and its history. 1 200m 2 of exhibits provide a fascinating retrospective of the techniques and practices involved in its manufacture. Appealing to all the senses, visitors will discover among its collection of over 1 000 objects the many different ingredients required to make good cognac.
