The Town

Discover Poitiers

Poitiers, the former capital of the Poitou region, is one of the stops with the greatest patrimonial wealth on the Turonian Way. Known as "The City of a Hundred Bell Towers", it offers the pilgrim an ensemble of Romanesque and Gothic churches of exceptional value. Its most precious jewel is the Notre-Dame-la-Grande church, with a Romanesque façade carved that is a true stone Bible, one of the most beautiful in France. The Baptisterium of St John, considered one of the oldest Christian buildings in the country, and the Cathedral of St Peter are other must-see visits. The city, with an important university, has a lively atmosphere and a medieval old town that invites getting lost in its streets. For the pilgrim, Poitiers is an oasis of art, history, and spirituality, a place for a deep cultural rest. With all necessary services, it's a stage that connects the walker to the splendor of the Middle Ages and Romanesque art, an unforgettable milestone on the Way of St James.
