Inland from the coast, the historical city of Poitiers was built by the Romans and there are numerous reminders of its history still evident around the city. Strolling along Poitiers' streets is the best way to get a feel for the city's past. Its remarkable Romanesque churches are a particular highlight. Visit the Église Notre-Dame la Grande, known for its intricately carved façade depicting scenes from the Bible.
The sights and monuments show Poitiers’ interesting past which is in stark contrast from one of the region’s most popular tourist destinations: Futuroscope. Visiting this future-themed, hi-tech theme park is an exciting and educational day out!
A trip to Poitiers could be combined with sightseeing in La Rochelle or Paris, or maybe just add a day to Disneyland.
A highlight of any school trip to Western France has to be a full day spent at Futuroscope, the hi-tech theme park. It is designed with education in mind and is one of France's most visited attractions. Situated in the heart of the superb Poitou-Charentes region of western France, Futuroscope offers a unique experience for any visiting school.
