Poitiers and Surroundings
Poitiers, a city steeped in history, reveals its treasures through its historical monuments, from Roman ruins to 18th-century buildings. Picture yourself in front of a medieval facade, discovering a half-timbered house, marveling at the history hidden behind every stone. Between churches and cathedrals with exceptional architecture and cobbled streets, experience the history of Poitiers. Like Charles Martel in 732, leave your mark in our thousand-year-old city.
Just a ten-minute drive away, Futuroscope awaits you with its innovative attractions, as does Nouaillé Maupertuis Abbey and its charming medieval town. Further afield, explore the wildlife of nearby forests and valleys, or be inspired by the poetry of the Cité de l'Ecrit in Montmorillon. For a picturesque getaway, visit Angles sur l'Anglin, one of the most beautiful villages in France, and discover the frescoes of the Saint Savin Abbey, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
