The city reached its apogee in the 16th C. with the arrival in its walls of the dynasty of Valois with Charles de Valois and his wife, Louise of Savoy, the parents of Francis Ist, the French king who received Leonardo da Vinci in France, and Marguerite de Valois. Under the influence of this family, the city housed an intellectual center of the Renaissance Arts. Along the Charente river and its tributaries, several paper mills developed a significant paper industry.
