Water Temperature in Cognac: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Cognac, located in the Charente region of southwestern France, is famously known for its production of the renowned brandy, but the Charente River that flows through the city also offers scenic beauty and outdoor opportunities. The river is typically calm, making it ideal for boating, canoeing, and fishing. However, swimming in the Charente River is less common, as the water temperature can vary and the current, while gentle, can be unpredictable. In the summer months, water temperatures in the Charente River usually range from 18°C (64°F) to 22°C (72°F). While this can be refreshing for a quick dip or a brief swim, it is generally not considered warm enough for extended swimming sessions.

For those seeking more consistent and safe swimming opportunities, Cognac offers several outdoor pools and water sports facilities, where the water is maintained at comfortable temperatures for recreational swimming. Additionally, the banks of the Charente are ideal for scenic walks and riverfront activities, making the area an attractive place for outdoor recreation.
