TERs facilitate transport with its cycle. Personally, I often leave from Angoulême station to reach Poitiers further north, Limoges, Libourne or Royan.

New York sur Charente Mural, Angoulême
Highlight • Monument
For visitors and residents, the building has become a vessel and one expects at any time to hear the sirens of the cargo ships leaving the port, a reminder of the voyage of Verrazano who in the 16th century, docked the coasts of the Americas and baptized the first bay called “Nouvelle Angoulême”.

René Goscinny Obelisk
Highlight • Monument
On the occasion of the fortieth anniversary of the death of René Goscinny, the René Goscinny Institute, with the support of the International Comic Strip Festival, is offering the City of Angoulême, the international capital of comic strips, a monument that will last a long time. Built in a public place, passers-by will be able to appropriate this obelisk and have fun deciphering its inscriptions.
The obelisk for Goscinny is a stone monolith on which are engraved 82 quotes taken from the works of the screenwriter including Asterix, Lucky Luke, Iznogoud, Le Petit Nicolas, Les Dingodossiers...
Some of these phrases are part of our everyday language: "They are crazy these Romans", "Find the magic potion", "Be afraid that the sky will fall on our heads", "Shoot faster than your shadow", "Want to be caliph in the place of the caliph"...
Translated into 150 languages and dialects, the work of René Goscinny has traveled around the world. Thanks to his qualities as a screenwriter and the talent of his co-authors, Albert Uderzo, Morris, Sempé, Tabary, Gotlib, the comic strip becomes the 9th art.
This monument is a tribute to the entire comic strip.
