Angoulême is the prefecture of the Charente, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Its geography has shaped the city: the historic core sits on a rocky plateau about a hundred metres up, ringed by ramparts that offer a panoramic walk over the valley of the Charente, while the lower town spreads along the river, around L'Houmeau and Saint-Cybard.
The city is known as the capital of the comic strip. Every year it hosts the international comics festival and it is home to the Cité internationale de la bande dessinée et de l'image, set in former wine warehouses on the banks of the Charente. The Plateau keeps a rich heritage, with the Saint-Pierre cathedral, the town hall laid out in the former castle of the counts of Angoulême and the course of the Circuit des remparts. The station, on the Sud Europe Atlantique high-speed line, puts Paris about two hours away.
The geography of prices follows that history. The Plateau and the central districts are gaining in value, while the large estates of the west, around the Grande Garenne, and the Bel-Air area remain more affordable. The Charente separates the upper town from the northern faubourgs, L'Houmeau and Saint-Cybard, which are undergoing change.
The Angoulême market attracts first-time buyers, families, working people from the local employment area, people working in the image and comics sector and buy-to-let investors. Demand focuses on the apartments of the Plateau and the centre, on the houses of the residential districts of the east such as Victor Hugo, and on the more affordable properties of the faubourgs and the west. Prices, measured for a prefecture, are sought after for the setting, the heritage and the high-speed rail service.
