Best Time to Visit

As the best and most practical way to visit the city centre of Poitiers is on foot or by bike, it is advised to travel here during the warmest, most enjoyable months (from May to October). The Poitiers cultural scene offers many events worth a visit and take place all through the year: the biannual festival "Trouver Sonnette à son Pied" (www.trouversonnette.org) puts on theatre plays in unusual spots and takes place in springtime (usually between April and May); "Les Expressifs" (www3.poitiers-jeunes.com/lesexpressifs2017), held in October, is one of the most important street circus festivals in Europe; in December, the "Poitiers Film Festival" (www.poitiersfilmfestival.com) is a springboard for the success of many young directors from all over the world.
