🇫🇷 Poitiers: Where Craftsmanship Meets Daily Life ✨

*August 18-19, 2018 | 2 Days in France's Hidden Gem* 🏘 Final Stop, Lasting Impression Though just a brief visit, Poitiers stole our hearts with its quiet brilliance – a medieval city pulsing with modern ingenuity. 🎓 City of Scholars Home to top-ranked Université de Poitiers and ENSMA (a partner of China's CAUC), where 1 in 4 locals is a student! 📚✨ Bookstores and antique stalls around churches whisper its literary soul. 💐 A Masterclass in Living Well Every corner reveals Poitiers' artisanal spirit: ▸ Rainbow S-chairs at City Hall – unfurled daily for sunbathing, stacked at night like modern art 🪑🌞 ▸ Student-run tourist kiosks with eager helpers 🗺️💁‍♂️ ▸ Glass recycling bins every 100m (no more trekking with bottles! ♻️) ▸ Blossac Park's magic: Mini-zoo (bunnies! chinchillas! seahorses! 🐇🐹), sculpted hedges, duck-filled ponds 🦆🌳 ▸ Train station puzzles: Interactive floor maps & mural mazes for kids 🧩🚂 🍽️ Even lunch is poetic: €10 grilled sole + unlimited steamed veggies, followed by park bench daydreaming. 📖 This city doesn't just inspire – it embodies ideas. To live here is to fall in love with thoughtful living. #Poitiers #FrenchJoieDeVivre #SlowTravel #UniversityTown #SustainableLiving #HiddenFrance
