Au 18ème siècle il a été l'une des routes les plus fréquentées par les voyageurs commissions de travail de l'eau de vie et les métiers du vin de Bordeaux. Un voyageur a été commis - et est toujours - un voyageur de commerce, un explorateur du monde des affaires nouvelles, c'est une invention typiquement française que le cognac lui-même.Vous vous demandez comment le cognac est devenu un éponyme pour le brandy, j'ai pensé qu'il serait amusant de redécouvrir le voyageur commissions sur cette route, en reproduisantle parcours de la chair de poule Alphaville-comme le réglage de Paris-Montparnasse en TGVà Tarbes, via Poitiers et Angoulême, où vous descendez du train dans un marigot Balzacien calme.
