Segonzac is a village (technically, a commune in the French settlement hierarchy) within the Charente department of southwestern France, in the Cognac area. There is a strong sense of community, and it is pretty much self-sufficient, in terms of great local shops (bakery, butcher's, and so on), restaurants, using local farms and produce. It has a historic town hall (as shown in the picture) emblazoned with the words "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité" meaning "Liberty, Equality, Brotherhood / Solidarity" -- the French motto. There's also a large church and local fitness facilities such as a public swimming-pool. Nearby, there's the castle (château) de Saint-Martial.
