Église Notre-Dame la Grande is a remarkable Romanesque Catholic church from the 11th century. The interior of the church is adorned with striking painted columns and walls, while the stained-glass windows add to its beauty. In addition to its architectural splendor, the church also hosts a vibrant farmers market on Saturdays. The Traversees\Kimsooja series of events further adds to its allure through illuminations by Solarescope and live organ music performances in the choir loft.
Simply beautiful Notre-Dame-la-Grande with 11th century church with painted columns and because it’s Saturday when I went here, a nice farmers market in the vicinity of the church!

We found Our Lady the Great (Notre-Dame la Grande) to be a beautiful eleventh century church. This is a Romanesque design so it is much darker inside compared with the later gothic cathedrals. The interior is also filled beautifully painted support columns. This is a really impressive thousand year old church.

Wonderfully preserved, beautiful old church - exterior and interior. Amazing painted pillars, decorated side chapel ceilings and stained glass. We had the extra joy of a solo with organ rehearsal. Free entry, short walk from Hotel de ville. Quiet as no market on a Monday

Visited this church as part of the Traversées\Kimsooja series of events in Poitiers. Beautiful Romanesque structure inside and out, made extra special by Kimsooja's Solarescope illuminations and by the organ player practicing in the choir loft.

This is a jewel of an old church dating back to the eleventh century, the beautifully painted columns and interior walls are quite stunning.

The Baptistère Saint-Jean in Poitiers is considered the oldest Christian church in France, with origins dating back to the 4th century. It underwent alterations in the 7th century and features a large octagonal pool for baptism, reflecting the practices of Merovingian times. Visitors can explore an archaeological museum inside, showcasing Merovingian sarcophagus covers and impressive murals from the 12th and 13th centuries adorning its walls.
Nice church with friendly staff. 15 minutes to see it all.
Andy Wallace — Google review
There is a small charge, which seems flexible if like us, you have a large family. Worth it to see what is claimed to be the oldest christian building in France. There is a leaflet that explains everything. Well worth the walk from the centre of town if you are interested in history.
Richard Lee — Google review
Wow.
Andrew Wagstaff — Google review
Supposedly the oldest existing Christian building in the West and a spectacular example of Merovingian architecture. Interesting part of the history of this building was that it was abandoned around late 1700 during the "Revolution", confiscated from the church, sold to a private citizen who used it as a warehouse! Repurchased and saved from demolition, underwent restoration in the mid 20th century. Worth exploring.

Musée Sainte-Croix is a museum situated in the hub of a city that boasts its heritage and Roman legacy. The concrete building houses an impressive collection of prehistoric, Roman artifacts, fine arts pieces and ancient tools and coins. Walking around the labyrinthine setup takes visitors on an immersive journey into a new world filled with artistic, archeological and historical treasures. The museum's painting section showcases works by local artists while the sculptures are of top-notch quality.
Un museo tranquilo.
Un museo interesante.
Un museo recomendable.
No es muy grande con lo que es agradable de ver y eso contribuye a que no te satures.
Tiene una parte de objetos y arte tanto anterior al nacimiento de cristo, como romano y medieval no muy extenso pero si muy cautivador.
Y para finalizar tiene un recorrido por la pintura a lo largo de los siglos con tampoco gran cantidad de cuadros pero en donde ocurre lo mismo que con los objetos de arte antiguo, son cuadros interesantes y muy bien expuestos.
A eso unirle que apenas hay gente con lo que se disfruta del contenido de manera casi exclusiva.
No dejéis de ir.

A quiet museum.
An interesting museum.
A recommended museum.
It's not very big, so it's nice to see and that helps you not get saturated.
It has a part of objects and art both prior to the birth of Christ, as well as Roman and medieval, not very extensive but very captivating.
And finally, it has a journey through painting throughout the centuries with not a large number of paintings, but where the same thing happens with ancient art objects, they are interesting paintings and very well exhibited.
Add to that the fact that there are hardly any people who enjoy the content almost exclusively.
Don't stop going.

A museum in the heart of a city filled with heritage and Roman glory. The building is almost like a maze where you walk around without knowing where you are actually.

Culture. Restaurants. Shopping. A lot of cities have this, so why choose Poitiers? Because the city is really a hidden gem. The inner city with his pedestrian area is still a lively city with some really great restaurants to enjoy, a lot of very lovely squares to have a drink, nice shops to stroll and all of this with beautifully renovated buildings. Good to spend a few days when you pass by or spend some more time to explore the countryside. A pity that the staff of the office de tourism isn't a enthousiast...could a lot more client focused.

Hôtel Fumé, located on Rue Rene Descartes in Poitiers, is a flamboyant gothic mansion that dates back to the 15th and 16th centuries. Originally built by the city's mayor, it now houses the university's humanities department. The surrounding area is picturesque, with medieval half-timbered buildings and cobbled streets creating a historic ambiance.
(Translated by Google) A long university complex, spread over several floors and separated into 4 buildings, 3 of which are dedicated to classes and lecture hall. There are also several maintained gardens, with trees, flowers, bushes and tables for dining in the sun. The buildings being relatively upside down, it is easy to get lost and not find your assigned room (and thus miss at least the start of your course), fortunately at each entrance you will be able to find plans of the building concerned.
Good walk
(Original)
Un complexe universitaire tout en longueur, étalé sur plusieurs étages et séparé en 4 bâtiments dont 3 dédié aux classes et amphi. Présence également de plusieurs jardin entretenu, avec des arbres, fleurs, buissons et table pour se restaurer au soleil. Les bâtiments étant relativement sans dessus dessous, il est facile de s'y perdre et de ne pas trouver sa salle assigné (et ainsi rater au moins le début de son cours), heureusement à chaque entrées vous pourrez trouver des plans du bâtiment concerné.

(Translated by Google) Pleasant experience as a student: amphitheatres and rooms in direct proximity to the city center, superb listed building and contemporary infrastructure, attentive teachers offering quality teaching for the most part. However, numerous difficulties relating to the size of the rooms, communication difficulties between the school and the teachers, such as delays linked to the publication of grades may have partially tainted the memory of this course.

(Translated by Google) This listed building displays the coat of arms of the city's University and has housed renowned students. Among all those who contributed to its prestige, we include the scholar and philosopher René Descartes who initially studied law. In homage to this illustrious student, the street which leads there now bears his name. The building is fully integrated into the faculty and houses its offices and other administrative premises. The recent entrance gives direct access to the succession of modern buildings which, placed end to end, constitute the UFR SHA.
After passing through the imposing wrought iron gates of the ancient entrance, you will have to watch out for the petrified creatures that inhabit these venerable walls. In this bestiary, only one of them all observes you perched higher than all the others. It is customary for students who have completed their registration to wander the small paved courtyard in search of the curious animal. Legend has it that the time you take to find it will reveal to you the difficulty, or on the contrary the great ease, with which you will complete your studies. Here are some clues: he doesn't walk on stone and he is not represented on the coat of arms. So whether you are engaged in these places for an hour or for a year, let yourself be drawn into the game.

Cet édifice, classé, arbore le blason de l'Université de la ville et a abrité des étudiants de renom. Parmi tous ceux qui ont contribué à son prestige, on compte le savant et philosophe René Descartes qui a mené, à ses débuts, des études de Droit.

L'entrée récente donne directement accès à la succession de bâtiments modernes qui, mis bout à bout, constituent l'UFR SHA.
Après avoir passé les imposantes grilles en fer forgé de l'ancienne entrée, il vous faudra prendre garde aux créatures pétrifiées qui peuplent ces vénérables murs. Dans ce bestiaire, un seul entre tous vous observe perché plus haut que tous les autres. Il est de coutume pour les étudiants qui ont achevé leur inscription de parcourir la petite cour pavée pour se mettre en quête du curieux animal. La légende raconte que le temps que vous mettrez pour le trouver vous révélera la difficulté, ou au contraire la grande facilité, avec laquelle vous accomplirez vos études. Voici quelques indices : il ne marche pas sur la pierre et il n'est pas représenté sur le blason. Alors que vous soyez engagé en ces lieux pour une heure ou pour une année, laissez-vous prendre au jeu.

(Translated by Google) A little away from the city center but worth the detour. You can get there on foot from the Notre Dame la Grande church or the Cathedral in 15 minutes. Go back up rue de la Chaîne towards the city center, you will see the Hotel Fumé.
Work in 2017 was carried out outside and inside for a restoration that this magnificent monument needed. Its beauty and presence shine on the banks of the Clain. Simply cross the boulevard to enjoy a charming shaded walk along the river.
A perfect place for meditation, contemplation or simple relaxation, and a magnificent moment of history. The simple and austere facade hides a vast and welcoming place which encourages communion.
To discover if you pass through Poitiers or if you live in Poitiers.

Des travaux en 2017 ont été effectués dehors et dedans pour une restauration dont ce magnifique monument avait besoin. Sa beauté et sa prestance resplendissent au bords du Clain. Il vous suffit de traverser le boulevard pour profiter d’une charmante promenade ombragée au bord de la rivière.
Un endroit parfait pour la méditation, le recueillement ou la simple détente, et un magnifique moment d'histoire. La façade simple et austère dissimule un endroit vaste et accueillant qui incite à la communion.
