A Companion to Angoulême and the Angoumois is an anthology about a fascinating region of France and its capital city. History, art and local culture are seen here throught the eyes of their visitors and residents. Angoulême's position between North and South meant it became a crossroads for many travelers and pilgrims, also for invaders... Remarkable personages are connected with her : it begins with the roman poet Ausone and ends at the comic strip festival; a journey of seventeen centuries.
