Angoulême, France’s city of art and history, is the perfect location for a trip full of culture! Situated above the Charente river, Angoulême boasts plenty of sights to see and things to do. Visit its old town and its cathedral, bustling narrow streets and its ramparts which offer stunning views of the Charente valley. Between all these busy adventures, feel at ease knowing the Mercure Angoulême hotel is ready to look after you. Perfect for those looking for an authentic experience, this former home of the Guez de Balzac family preserves the traditional character of the building, making it a charming hotel brimming with history.
The Mercure Angoulême hotel mixes a modern approach into its historic building, giving you the best of both worlds! Having portraits of King François l running throughout reminds you of how you have the opportunity to live in luxury like the King himself!
Waking up to either a Classic or Privilege Room, with the sound of the bustling French streets coming through your window along with the fresh breeze awakening you ready for a day of exploring what Angoulême has to offer. Before setting out into the city, however, make sure to take advantage of the included breakfast and eat until your heart’s content! From then on, the city is yours to discover; visit its museums, restaurants and make sure to admire its amazing ‘painted wall trail’, as Angoulême is known as the comic strip capital of France.
Once you’ve done enough exploring for the day, return to the hotel and let them take care of the rest! They have a beautiful 1500m² garden for you to relax in and enjoy, as well as a fitness room. So if you feel you haven’t quite exercised enough you can do exactly that by making the most of the equipment on offer.
As the evening creeps in and your tummy starts to rumble, you can dine like a King at the hotel’s restaurant Les Jardins des Arceaux. Chef Christophe Dalseme and his team await you! Taste some of the finest French cuisine which has been prepared creatively and with a modern twist; and there is also a vegetarian menu for those who wish to have it. Laugh the night away with your loved ones in the restaurant’s modern and cosy setting, or you can savour your meal while on the terrace and watch the sun set over the dazzling city…
