- Jardin des Sens - As you proceed towards the Pasteur promenade, which links Pont Neuf to Pont Saint-Cyprien, enjoy this scenic walk that brings you back to the city center while experiencing a touch of nature along the Clain’s banks.
- Chemin du Clain Nouveau - Poitiers uniquely offers genuine nature escapes within the city. It is divided by two rivers: the Clain and the Pepper.
- Hôtel particulier Jean Beaucé - Adjacent to the town hall is the exquisite Beauce Mansion Inn. Its intricate architecture piques curiosity and invites further exploration.
- Place du Maréchal-Leclerc - Welcome to Place du Maréchal Leclerc, the central square of Poitiers! Known by some locals as Place d’Arms, it has also been called Place Nationale during the Revolution, Place Royale in the Renaissance, and Place du Point of Sale in the Middle Ages when it was the city’s economic hub.
- 16 Rue des Cordeliers - You find yourself at the rear of the Palace of the Counts of Poitiers, featuring the Maubergeon tower and the quaint Joan of Arc square. The statue commemorates the 500th anniversary of her visit to Poitiers.
- Palace Of The Counts Of Poitiers - Admittedly, the entrance to the Palais des comtes de Poitiers might not seem grand, especially compared to the rest of the building visible!
- Hotel Fume - Pause to admire the stunning flamboyant Gothic facade of this mansion inn. Constructed between the 15th and 16th centuries, it exemplifies the Renaissance era’s finest architecture.
- La Statue de la Liberte - Are you aware of how many replicas of the Statue of Liberty exist? The exact count is unknown, but there are more than one might expect!
- Poitiers - Take a moment to visit the Halles de Notre-Dame and discover the region’s specialties. If visiting on a Saturday, you’ll find a bustling market of local producers.
- Notre-dame La Grande - You are now on the forecourt of Notre-Dame de la Grande church! It is truly the gem of Poitiers (and not the Futuroscope).
- Cathedrale Saint-Pierre - You stand before Poitiers’ most majestic monument. The Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul was erected on the remnants of an 11th-century religious structure.
- Baptistere Saint-Jean - Approach with care, as you are in front of a rare and valuable building. The Baptistery of Saint John is among the earliest religious monuments in Europe.
- Eglise Sainte-Radegonde - The church of Sainte-Radégonde, now visible with its splendid Gothic bell tower, was once known as Sainte-Marie-Out-of-Walls.
- Belvedere des Dunes - As anticipated, these few steps lead to a vantage point offering a panoramic view of the old town. The main monuments rise above the slate roofs and red tiles.
