  Description

  Meet Our Family of Four Residing in Cognac, France
  Our family comprises of four members: Cyrielle (the mom), Thierry (the dad), Maxence (7 years old), and Augustin (6 years old). We reside in the charming locality of Cognac in France, which is located just an hour and fifteen minutes away from Bordeaux and one hour from La Rochelle. Additionally, it's only a two-hour train ride from Paris via Angoulême, which is a mere 40-minute drive from our home.
  
  We love the vibrant and welcoming city of Cognac that makes us feel at home. Our city is famous for its Cognac production, and we are fortunate to be surrounded by beautiful vineyards and distilleries. We also enjoy taking our boys on tours next to the ocean, where they can learn about the history.
  
  Aside from the Cognac, there are many other things to love about living in this area. The local markets offer a wide variety of fresh produce, cheese, and bread, which we often use to prepare delicious meals at home. We also enjoy exploring the beautiful countryside, hiking along the Charente River, and taking day trips to nearby towns and cities.
  
  One of our favorite family activities is attending the annual Cognac Blues Festival, which brings in musicians from all over the world. The festival is a great opportunity to connect with our community and enjoy some fantastic music.
  
  Overall, we feel very lucky to call Cognac our home. It's a wonderful place to raise a family, and we can't imagine living anywhere else.
  
  Our home in Cognac is a charming and cozy place that we have worked hard to make our own. It's a beautiful old stone house with a large garden where our boys love to play and explore. We have also created a vegetable garden where we grow our own fresh produce, which has been a fun and rewarding experience for the whole family.
  
  As for our careers, Cyrielle and Thierry is a spirits producer making modern brands. Both of our professions have allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the culture and lifestyle of Cognac, which is a huge part of why we love living here.
  
  We are also lucky to have made many dear friends in our community, both French and ex-pats. We often host dinner parties and gatherings with our friends, where we enjoy good food, wine, and company.
  
  All in all, we feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a wonderful place to call home in Cognac. It's a place that has brought us so much joy, and we look forward to many more years of happiness and memories here.
