Standing on the hill overlooking the Clain and Boivre rivers, Poitiers is one of the most fascinating towns in France. The strategic location of this capital city of Poitou has tempted many conquerors from the past - from Joan of Arc to Richard the Lion Heart.
It boasts many museums, stunning churches and lively nightlife, which entertains the thriving student population. Since the opening of Futuroscope, a futuristic cinema theme park - the town has really come alive.
