Comic Murals of Angoulême

Highlight • Monument

Angoulême is known as the French comics capital and a city of art and history. Angoulême invites you to discover its upper town, surrounded by ramparts, which overlooks the Charente river from its hill, and to discover the many comics murals. The tourist information office in the town hall has a nice city map with all the locations.

Place New York

Highlight • Monument

The square stands on the site of the original city fortifications and has long been used for parades and demonstrations. At one end is the imposing statue of President Sadi Carnot, assassinated in 1894.
In 1956, the square was renamed Place New York Square in commemoration of Verrazzano's journey in the service of Francis I, who in 1524 named the site of present-day New York as New Angoulême.
