Stay at Chais Monnet
A town as chronicled as Cognac demands to be enjoyed from the best. With lodgings as poised as Chais Monnet’s, you know you’re in good hands. Wake to calming hues of white and cream, laced with wooden subtleties. Discover a breakfast buffet rich in flavour, as local cheeses, cold cuts and croissants each entice in their own way.The tranquility of the pool is perfect for an afternoon swim. The jacuzzi, too, beckons - much deserved after a morning bike ride. Return to the delights of La Distillerie restaurant once evening falls, for in this lively hub serendipity begins. Vibrant culinary offerings adorn this former cognac warehouse. Beneath the vaulted ceiling of Le 1836, live performances and cognac-inspired cocktails mesmerise next.
