A family trip to Poitiers to enjoy the Romanesque and medieval times (2/2)

Poitiers It was a European city that looked especially during the reign of Leonor de Aquitaine when the Poitou region had a great splendor with a great commitment to the juicer. However, everything broke down with the arrival of the 100-year War, the plague and the great darkness of that difficult time. At present, what can be seen in Poitiers is the extraordinary effort made to make the city look splendid and with many services for the traveler. For example, at the Christmas market we take the opportunity to take one of the beautiful bears that serve to introduce us to the nearby Futuroscope park that we have commented on a lot of news of its spectacular attractions in Peques and More.

Because the services in Poitiers are very complete and are designed to make the trip comfortable, it is that, while touring the city you can enjoy a good coffee, a good meal or a great dinner in places like Bistrot du Boucher Poitiers

Next to the zone of old walls There is a large shopping center within which we could find a Zara store with a spectacular fragment of Romanesque convent perfectly integrated into the environment.

From the walk we took through the city we loved the small shop with specialized stores such as Comic in which only the ignorance of the language prevented me from entering to discover and acquire the magnificent works that were seen in the shop window.

Finally, I recommend that you have to try to travel with telephone data plan contracts in perfect condition so as not to lose the connection and have access to updated information about what is happening around us. Although in many establishments it is already possible to have Wi-Fi to maximize our mobile devices. And every time there is more options to know if the site chosen to eat or visit has good recommendations, in almost real time with Foursquare for example, from other users. It is also important to access additional information through the QR codes or meet videos on YouTube or images on Flickr and Instagram with content that complements what is being viewed live.

I remember that Poitiers We arrived on the train that left Madrid for Paris and that left us on time in the city after dinner, sleep and breakfast at Elipsos.

Important note: I have been invited to the City of Poitiers by West France that promotes three regions of western France (Poitou-Charentes, Pays de la Loire and Brittany) in Spain.
