When in the pedestrian centre of Niort, meander the streets, taking in the old facades which are dotted around, including the Governor's House and the Estissac Mansion. At the centre of this historical, old quarter is the Renaissance style town hall, the Pilori, built upon the site of a medieval pillory. It has now been converted into a contemporary art exhibition space. Rent a car in Niort and La Rochelle is only a 51 minute drive away, a city on the Bay of Biscay, from which you can access the charming Ile-de-Ré.
