Poitiers Airport

About Poitiers

The rich architectural heritage of the town of Poitiers and the decidedly high-tech, state-of-the-art visual theme park of Futuroscope are the two tourist attractions of the departement of Vienne.

Elegantly manicured gardens in the Parc de Blossac, an historic centre and a clutch of churches - including the suitably named Notre-Dame-la-Grande, and plenty of pedestrian precincts - add up to an enjoyable couple of days visiting the hilltop town of Poitiers.

There’s a big buzzy food and clothes market everyday in the Place Charles-de-Gaulle, and plenty of café life at Place du Maréchal Leclerc. Every street in Poitiers has something to see whether it's half timbered houses or renaissance hôtels.

To make life easy there’s “Les chemins de Notre-Dame” - red, blue and yellow markings which point you to Poitier’s most prestigious buildings via the city’s bustling streets. A guide book available from the tourist office explains the route.
