Poitier

The picturesque city of Poitiers in west central France is steeped in history and reminders of its glorious past are visible everywhere. Poitiers has many fine examples of Romanesque and Gothic churches with ceiling frescoes, beautiful stained glass windows and carved facades and is home to the oldest church in France – Baptistiere Saint-Jean, built in 360 AD. ?
Three signposted visitor paths take you around major heritage sites and restful green spaces like the Botanical Gardens and Blossac Park.

Just a few miles away is Futuroscope theme park, which is a unique combination of technologies and sensations, with both outdoor and indoor rides created with real French flair.

So, on any visit to Poitiers you can enjoy both the ancient and the ultra modern side by side.
