Poitiers is a town in France's central-west region. Poitiers' appealing cityscape is constituted of medieval church spires from the likes of Notre Dame la Grande and St Pierre Cathedral, but the city also has a cutting-edge culture driven in part by its large student population. The Futuroscope theme park gains huge acclaim and is a short distance outside of town for anyone who takes up car hire in Poitiers. Restaurants are plentiful and there are some lovely parks around the city. Hiring a car from Poitiers allows you to explore the entire Poitou-Charentes region around the city. Car rental is available from our location at 107 Boulevard du Grand Cerf.
Most tourists who head to Poitiers are keen to explore the religious buildings with the Romanesque beauty of Notre Dame le Grande high on the list. Saint Pierre Cathedral situated in the Cathedral Quarter is popular. For a bit of tranquillity, you can head for the Parc de Blossac. Or, take the D910 to Futuroscope - a theme park based around different forms of audio-visual presentation including mind-bending 4D shows. Car hire from Poitiers also allows you to make the journey to La Vallee des Singes on the N10 – a monkey and primate zoo; or rent a car from Poitiers and make a trip to the ‘Green Venice' of Marais Poitevin.
