Whilst magnificent from outside the interior is breath taking.The interior is painted in a mixture of colours in different patterns which magnifies the impact.It is essential to visit if you are a lover of churches and history. Marvellous.

Also a pleasant visit. We hadn't planned on visiting this church we just came upon it which was great as i had never heard of St Ragegonde. This church did have english literature which made the visit more pleasant. it is nice to understand the history of the saint and the building

What a delightful park this is. Spent the whole afternoon here although could have spent the whole day. Something for everyone of all ages. Hire a tandem to go around the park, have an all you can eat buffet lunch for 12 euros and take your time to enjoy all the park has to offer.

It s a Cathedral, so it s big, but After visiting all churchbuildings i would say this one is certainly not nr 1 to visit The inside didn't t impress me, felt very empty. The art inside is standard.
5. Baptistere Saint-Jean

Steeped in history and atmosphere. Don't miss this unique church, used for baptisms in the early days of total immersion. Fascinating sarcophagae, sadly some of children. Gives an insight into the importance of Poitiers as a religious centre.

Certainly worth a visit and parking very affordable and in the vicinity of the hotel de ville (same name). Other interesting places nearby. The drive through the town itself was great too and there are enough nice bars and restaurants nearby.
8. Palais de Justice

Reviewed By mitch w - Bordeaux, France
WE saw the outside of this building from the back side. There is a nice small garden and a very well placed plaque that explains the history of this building in several languages. Joan of Arc was theologically questioned in this building prior to being approved to join King Charles II. The front is actually around the block. On our visit the building was closed to the public in that it is still used for governmental offices.
9. Musee St-Croix

Reviewed By John C - Tralee, Ireland
Very interesting museum with prehistoric and roman items with remnants of old city walls on display ,Some beautiful paintings and sculptures are also on display. While we were visiting other exhibits on another floor were being prepared. Give yourself plenty of time if interested in these .Entrance was only €2 .
