The biggest museum in the city is in a labyrinthine brutalist building from the 1970s. After an intensive trawl through these galleries, broken down into prehistory, ancient archaeology, medieval history, fine arts ethnography and regional, you’ll be feeling pretty clued-up about Poitiers and the region. You’ll be riveted by the archaeology departm...
Since the Lumière brothers in the 19th-century France has always been at the forefront of the cinematic arts, and the Futuroscope theme park springs from that legacy. It is France’s third most popular theme park and has been dazzling visitors for more than 30 years with simulators, rides and breathtaking presentations in IMAX 3D and 4D theatres. Th...
In Poitiers you can step in to the oldest Christian church in France, built in the 4th century and then altered in the 7th century to its present form. In the Merovingian times they didn’t mess around when it came to baptism, and instead of a small font, the church contains a large octagonal pool in which people needed to be totally immersed to com...
Because of its location on the Way of St. James pilgrimage route, this hushed romanesque church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Revolution wasn’t kind to the building, and the nave was torn down and had to be rebuilt. But in the choir and ambulatory there’s lots of glorious medieval art. The four chapels have frescos from the 1000s, among them...
In the mid 18th-century the Count of Blossac had big plans for Poitiers to shed its medieval image with wide boulevards and open spaces like this sumptuous park. The park is actually skirted by some of the old city walls, as you can see on the southern corner. From there you can also follow the Chemin de la Cagouillere footpath down to the right ba...
This 11th-century church is an incredible piece of poitevin romanesque architecture. Inside are medieval paintings above the choir, showing Christ in majesty and the Virgin and Child surrounded by a mandorla. But it’s the church’s portal that wins most acclaim, with sophisticated 12th century friezes showing images from passages in the old and new ...
There’s only one room to be seen at Poitiers law courts, formerly the seat of the Dukes of Aquitaine and Counts of Poitou, and you have to brave airlines tyle bag-checkers to get in. But if you’re curious about English and French history this is small price to pay. Because the Grand Salle was a dining hall ordered in the 1190s by Eleanor of Aquitai...
Eleanor also commissioned the city’s imposing cathedral in 1162, and it was completed around a century later, which was quite swift for a building of this size in medieval times. If you’re fascinated by medieval history you could have a field day in here. First, nearly all the stained glass windows in the choir and transept are original, and if you...
Rue de la Chaîne is one of the most delightful streets in the city, crowded with medieval houses with criss-cross patterns on their timber frames and iron gaslights suspended over the middle of the street. Follow it up the hill and it turns into Rue René Descartes , on which you’ll be taken aback by the majestic, curving facade of Hôtel Fumé. This ...
The principal square in Poitier’s Cente-Ville has a totally different feel to the city’s narrow medieval streets, but is just as easy to love for its sense of space and airiness. Place du Maréchal-Leclerc is enclosed by Belle Époque and art deco buildings. Note the facade of the Société Générale, dating to 1928 and the former municipal theatre buil...
