Dive into the heart of Angoulême, where every street tells a story. Between ramparts, cathedral, old county castle, museums..., the city reveals a very rich heritage dating back to the 11th century. But here, history rubs shoulders with modernity: with its thirty painted walls, Angoulême is transformed into a veritable open-air gallery, celebrating the heroes of comic strips. A city where past and imagination mingle, ready to surprise you at every turn.
