EDITORS COMMENTS
Place Francois Ier, in the heart of Cognac, France, is a historic square named after the renowned King Francis I (1494-1547), who was born in the castle that dominates the area. The King, known as the "father of the French Renaissance," ruled France between 1515 and 1547. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, offers a breathtaking view of Place Francois Ier, with its central statue of the monarch on horseback. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the bustling activity of the square during the early 20th century. Rue d'Alger, a picturesque street, can be seen in the background, lined with charming buildings that bear witness to the rich history of this remarkable town. The square, which is also the birthplace of the famous King, is a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and those seeking to explore the cultural heritage of Cognac. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the past and the beauty of this historic French town.
