Of course first thing, once in the town was head to the best chocolate shop (from 1897) Chocolatier Duceau.
Placed directly across from the Hotel de Ville/town hall where I picked up my festival badge. How convenient 👍
It’s a good idea, when you’re traveling to get certain things over with immediatement & out of the way…non? 😊

With all the artists 👩🎨 coming to the festival for at least 52 years,

Art on the buse
Angoulême is an illustrated city.
Murals decorate public buildings and walls. There is even a mural tour.
This entire facade is an illustration of an artist signing books 📚Wherever you look 👁️ like inside the train station there is ART 🎨
Finding the artists and their work
Is a bit of challenge
(see map above).
They are spread all over town in many small venues and galleries, Unlike Carnet de Voyage where the artists 👩🎨 are all in one big building. Next year I’ll do better 🙏
About LUNCH!
My hottest Travel Tip ever! Find out BEFORE your trip -Where is the marché/market & what days it is open! Don’t waste time on Trip Advisor or travel 📚
You cannot go wrong eating inside any town marché.
The food is the freshest & simplest guaranteed.
I got the petit plateau de mer & was happy as a clam. Angoulême is in the sud-ouest and not far from the ocean 🌊
I heard English spoken at the counter and chatted up Caroline (British & lives in Angoulême) and Sheila and S (Americans now living in France and both simultaneous translators working at the Festival)
