The city also holds a world famous International Comic Book Festival each January, which attracts approximately 200 000 visitors! 

A few must-see places in the department include Aubeterre-sur-Dronne (99 km) which is listed as one the Plus Beaux Villages de France (one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France), Cognac (65 km) itself and La Rochefoucauld (44 km) with its magnificent chateau.
