Cognac

Town in the Charente département of western France, on the River Charente 40 km/25 mi west of Angoulême; population (1999) 19,500. Situated in a vine-growing district, Cognac has given its name to a brandy. Under French law the name may be applied only to brandy produced within a strictly limited area around the town. Bottles, corks, barrels, and crates are manufactured here. Francis I of France was born in its castle in 1494.

The old sector of the town centres on the 12th-century church of St Léger. The twin-towered gateway to this area, Porte St Jacques, dates from the 16th century. There is a school for pilots here.
