Poitiers, located in the heart of western France in the Vienne region, always surprises those who discover it. It blends its historic soul with a youthful, creative energy inspired by its prestigious university. Halfway between the Loire Valley châteaux and the Atlantic coast, it’s the perfect city for a getaway.

Poitiers enchants visitors with its rich Romanesque architectural heritage and its outstanding quality of life. It’s an ideal destination for lovers of history, culture, and nature, as well as for families in search of fun and welcoming experiences.

One of Poitiers’ main assets is its historic centre, perched on a promontory encircled by two rivers. The city offers a maze of medieval streets where visitors can admire treasures such as the Church of Notre-Dame-la-Grande, famous for its incredibly sculpted Romanesque façade, or Saint-Pierre Cathedral, which combines Gothic and Romanesque elements. Strolling through the centre feels like a journey back in time, among timber-framed façades, lively squares, and corners steeped in centuries of history.

Poitiers tells many stories — those of Saint Radegund, Eleanor of Aquitaine, or Rabelais and his Gargantua — and offers a wide variety of experiences. The Palace of the Counts of Poitou recalls the region’s medieval splendour. Blossac Park, one of the most beautiful public gardens in France, invites relaxation among fountains and sculptures. For those seeking more immersive activities, the city lies just minutes from Futuroscope and Aquascope, which attract thousands of visitors each year.

Local gastronomy is also worth discovering: Poitiers’ markets and restaurants delight with regional specialties such as farci poitevin, tourteau fromagé, and the delicious Chabichou cheese. Sitting at a terrace in the historic centre to enjoy a glass of Haut-Poitou wine is an essential part of the experience — a true taste of the local art of living.

This destination offers authenticity and discovery around every corner. Exploring Poitiers means letting yourself be carried away by its peaceful rhythm and rich heritage, and returning home with the desire to come back.

Around Poitiers, more treasures await: the medieval town of Chauvigny with its fortresses and falconry shows; the UNESCO-listed Abbey of Saint-Savin; La Vallée des Singes, the animal park dedicated to primates; and the many castles and abbeys scattered throughout the Vienne — perfect for extending the sense of escape.
