Place du Maréchal-Leclerc
The pedestrian heart of Poitiers, Place du Maréchal-Leclerc gathers the theatre, the town hall and many cafés. People meet there for a drink, a Saturday market or a summer evening. Just to the north, Rue de la Cathédrale slopes down to Saint-Pierre: a lovely after-dinner walk, to stroll slowly with no fixed goal, extending the evening with ease.
Cultural scene and bars
The TAP, Theatre Auditorium of Poitiers, programmes concerts, dance and plays all year in a noted contemporary building. The Confort Moderne, an alternative venue housed in a former furniture factory, is a reference for rock, electro and experimental scenes. Choosing a concert together, then discussing it at the bar: an efficient ritual to bring hearts closer.
Futuroscope and getaways
In Chasseneuil-du-Poitou, Futuroscope relies on images, immersion and rides. A playful, photogenic date all year round. Further south-west, the Poitevin Marshes drift boats between pollarded ash trees. On Lyad, Poitiers members share their favourite outings; it is up to you to find someone to join in.
