The Fondation d’entreprise Martell (Martell Corporate Foundation) is a cultural space where centuries-old heritage and contemporary creation converge and come to life, alongside excellence and curiosity, local roots and global influences. This vivid identity is embodied by the modernist Gâtebourse building, built in 1928 in the heart of Cognac. The Fondation d’entreprise Martell is a creative ecosystem that blends arts and culture, exhibitions and residencies, traditional savoir faire and digital exploration, visual creation and lively practices, permanent works and communal events. Amidst a popular tourist destination in Nouvelle Aquitaine and a unique region in Europe, our innovative programming is accessible to all curious audiences eager to share new forward-looking experiences.

Immerse yourself in the creative culture of the Cognac region with a full day excursion beginning at the renowned creative centre Fondation d’entreprise Martell, followed by a gourmet lunch at La Distillerie and an afternoon trip to the historic Abbaye aux Dames for special multi-sensory experience.
