POITIERS, FRANCE/ guide, best things to do, history & hidden gems

Thinking of visiting Poitiers in western France? This travel vlog will tell you everything you need to know before exploring the city. Included are hidden gems of Poitiers as well as plenty of travel tips, a little history, must-see tourist attractions and destinations.
Poitiers is a sleepy city in western France with a rich Merovingian heritage and a mesmerising tapestry of medieval churches scattered across its historic city centre. Indeed, Poitiers is home to so many church towers that it has been nicknamed “la ville aux cent clochers” (the town of a hundred steeples).
Places mentioned in the video:
Eglise Notre-Dame
Cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Poitiers (Poitiers Cathedral)
Baptistère Saint-Jean (Baptistery of Saint John)
Musée Sainte-Croix (Museum)
Hôtel de Ville (town hall)
Palais des comtes de Poitou-Ducs d’Aquitaine (Palace Of The Aquitaine Dukes)
Eglise Saint-Hilaire

If I'm not mistaken, I used to run in escaliers du diable to see how strong I was. Memories

I used to live there! It's so lovely to see you exploring it :') I didn't even get to all the churches apparently, mdr!

Not so sleepy, more than a 25% of the total population are students which makes it one of the youngest city in the country (awarded in 2022 to be the best student city of the country, and the second best city where to live in France in 2018... and always appears in the top ten since). It has one of the best university of the country and a solid community nework. Next to Poitiers, at 5 km you've got one of the best attraction park in the world (awarded a dozen of times), "Futuroscope", so... ;)

Love it. Thanks for sharing! Do you happen by any chance to have a video about Saintes, in Charrente Maritime ?

A lovely placed vlog but a little church-centric
