COGNAC MARTELL
Below the cognac is a second layer with another brand. The bottle reveals it is the fancy Dubonnet.		   COGNAC MARTELL   COGNAC MARTELL
You can take it with you

Martell is extremely talkative on this wall. Moreover they address us in English! The target of this mural is the English tourist driving back home. Before the construction of the highway, all traffic to the Channel-ferries crossed Abbeville.

Unusual appearance because the white border-lines are missing. Most Martell walls come with preferably three white lines.   The same wall seven years later.
A new wash-basin was installed.

COGNAC HENNESSY

The company has been founded by Richard Hennessy in 1765. He was an Irish military man who had left his country eight years earlier.
I think that the logo refers to this military past.

COURVOISIER COGNAC
The Brandy of Napoleon

When in 1811 Napoleon visited the distillery, the company created a special Cognac de Napoléon. The translation was made when an English company bought Courvoisier in the first years of the 20th century.

Rather clumsy paint work.
