The history of the Charente flag
History of the department : In the archaeological museum of Angoulême, it is stated that the presence of man in Charente arrived in the Paleolithic period. The region was mainly occupied by the Ecolismians, and was integrated into Aquitaine during the reorganisation of Gaul by Augustus. The history of the Charente is a tracing of the city of Angoulême and Angoumois.
The Angoumois was affected by the Wars of Religion in the 15th century. In the 18th century, a turnaround took effect, and the region became prosperous, thanks to the production of eau de vie, wine and cognac. In 1750, the Marquis de Montalembert established the marine cannon foundry at Ruelle and the development of the paper industry. The Charente thus became a very commercial region.
The Charente region favours idealism. Thus, many cultural events are held during the year: events around the National Centre for Comics and Images, the festival of metisses music, the comic book fair, the Val de Charente music festival, the sound and light show in La Rochefoucauld, the Cognac crime film festival, the International Folklore Festival in Confolens, the Circuit des remparts in Angoulême.
