Poitiers' history goes back over 2000 years and features some spectacular buildings housed around narrow streets which date back to medieval times. As you wander along the lanes you aretruly stepping back in history but, at the same time, are unable to feel the relaxed pace of life in this area of France. It would be hard to visit Poitiers and not take time out to sit at one of the many street cafe's for a meal and watch the world go by. |
