A few old bits of the chateau and more "recently" refurbishments after the French revolution. Then a pretty standard "distillery" tour with tasting the product. Be warned, there is a lot of climbing and descending stone and wooden stairs. Some of the lighting of the stairwells could do with improvement. As I had lost an eye due to cancer, it makes stairs far more difficult and need to take extra care. Certainly not a tour for anyone with any major difficulties walking, certainly not disabled friendly

About: Château Royal de Cognac
Château Royal de Cognac was originally a 10th-century fortress designed to stop invasions by the Normans. In the 15th century, it became a seigniorial dwelling and was the birthplace of one of France's most famous kings, François I. In 1494, Baron Otard acquired the château, saving it from destruction. He turned it into the home of his Cognac business, thanks to the unique walls, which were perfect for the aging of his eau de vie.
