Hotels near Poitiers-Biard Airport - PIS, Poitiers

we went to visit the futuroscope & the aquascope, 2 days is just right the first evening we ate at a pizza populaire with very nice staff & the second evening we just stayed at our hotel, Ibis, which has a great restaurant

Poitiers is a medieval small city with a great deal of ancient and medieval monuments extremely important in the French history. It has a University from 1431 and 30,000 students from France and abroad every year. It is quite cheap in comparison with many other French cities which is why I would go there again for a short holiday or break. There are many lovely boutiques with high quality garments, shoes and hats. The square in front of Palais is charming and you can admire Poitiers architecture sitting at the table in Le Petit Alphonse.

Logis Hôtel de l'Europe A wonderful hotel wish we could have stayed more than one night - staff very helpful parking a bonus Room was very spacious and comfortable Breakfast was excellent - choices and quality really good. Recommendation of Oh Le Bistro was spot on- short walk and great food and service. We will certainly stay again . Poitiers is worth a longer visit than we had time for on this occassion

Futurescope was a big disapointment to all my family. who's ages ranged from 5 to 82 years. The queues were anything up to 2 hours, and what was then particularly galling. V I P visitors were able to jump the queue to lengthen your wait. Some of the rides/shows were good , but one reallity ride we went on was past it's sell by date with the motions harsh and bruising. I wouldn't recommend it and certainly will not be going back.

Lovely city, with much of modern and old. Very hilly if you stay out of town. Lots of students, as university town. Lots to explore. Plenty of restaurants, or you can grab a baguette, ice cream, pizza or cookie.

Poitiers was our chosen night stop as we drove North toward St Malo. We were there just for the night and left fairly soon after breakfast. We did manage to walk around the main town area after checking in that evening and it was full of interesting architecture. The main centre is closed to traffic and has many restaurants, cafe's and bars, creating a safe and easy ambiance, which I'm sure we would have enjoyed had more time been available.
