Overlooking the Charente River, the "balcony of the southwest" is known for its French charm as well as an annual comics festival.

Angouleme is a commune in southwestern France. Based on a plateau overlooking a meander of the Charente River, the city is nicknamed the "balcony of the southwest". Nowadays Angouleme is at the center of an agglomeration which is one of the most industrialized regions between Loire and Garonne (the paper industry was established in the 16th century, a foundry and electromechanical engineering developed more recently). It is also a commercial and administrative city with its own university of technology and a vibrant cultural life. This life is dominated by the famous Angouleme International Comics Festival that contributes substantially to the international renown of the city.

Overall we were happy with our experience from the planning to our lodging. We had our trust issues about not physically seeing anyone, but your staff were available to chat with us when we had questions. We had only one incident in the Doubletree Excel Hotel. The receptionist told me that breakfast wasn’t included in the voucher. My husband clarified the situation and she apologized for not reading the voucher correctly. The selection of lodging was very interesting, varying from modern hotels to tea rooms and an apartment. We were expected at each lodging and there were no difficulties. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and we would happily use your company again for future travels. Thank you for your efficient organization, comforting agents and follow-up.

I think your product is awesome. It helped a lot with the planning of my trip, which I did with a friend from high school. I had no problem with the site and the vouchers worked very well at each check in. Thanks!
