Angouleme - Architecture - Dreaming of France

Angouleme has so much to offer and see . I feel that this is a place that I could return to and stay a bit longer.  Below is the map of the two walks you can do and what to see on the way! Red is for the Architectural HeritageGreen is for the Art The tours will make you go for a trip between the past and the future!    

Such a wonderful place to have café or vino or both!!

I could see myself up there with the shutters and balcony ♥




  Below is the Tourist Information building , 









The Town Hall of Angoulême is a major rebuild of the original Château d’Angoulême, which was a historic residence of counts and governors and to Plantagenet Prince John of England  The town acquired the chateau in the 19th century.  Mayor Paul Abadie decided to completely tear down the main buildings whilst retaining the polygonal keep, a tower and the châtelet.


Unfortunately I cannot find any information on this dome ,  Angoulême Dôme Csse d'épargne


  Eglise St Martial .. 





I have tried to find out more information about this place below but to no avail!!  All I can tell you is that it was a  Universal Drugstore . I really like the idea of keeping these old signs. 

And then the HEAVENS opened!!!!
  Thank You  to Diane and Nigel for taking me here , I know we did not have long but it was well worth a visit. Next time we will have to see the market too. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
