Only a small part of the original castle remains today, and that houses the Otard Cognac house. To visit, you’ll need to sign up to one of their tours – these primarily run in the summer, and you’ll get to see some of the original chateau (as well as sample some of their cognac)!
The chateau is on the banks of the River Charente in the town of Cognac on the east side of the Pont-Neuf. There’s parking in town although it can get busy, or Cognac’s train station is a 20 minute walk away, with regular connections to Angoulême.
