The traditional flat-bottomed oak boat that once used to transport cognac, salt and other produce, today transports visitors along the Charente – a great way to see the town from the river. At 22m long, La Dame Jeanne is an exact replica of a gabare and from May to September (inclusive) the boat sails for 14 kilometres along the river Charente for a relaxing and enjoyable journey of just under two hours. Tickets can be bought La Salle Verte, near the river port, from 15 minutes before departure or from the Cognac tourist office.
