🌿 Welcome to POITIERS – A Hidden Gem in France!

🏰 "A peaceful, hilltop town (feels a bit like Chongqing—get ready for leg day on those slopes!), where history meets student life." ✨ Why Poitiers? 🏛️ Timeless Charm: Crumbling stone buildings, cozy cafés, and streets soaked in medieval vibes. 🍷 Slow Living: Locals sip wine and chat from mid-afternoon till night—la vraie vie française! 🎓 Youthful Energy: A university town (70% students!), buzzing with cafés, bars, and cheap eats. 🌦️ Moody Skies: Cool but unpredictable—sunshine one minute, rain the next. Pack a jacket! 🚌 Getting Around Bus Life: The only public transport, but FREE on weekends! Warning: Drivers are daredevils—zooming up/down hills, hugging curbs like it’s a rally race. 🏎️💨 🚶 Walkable: Best way to explore (though those slopes will test your stamina). 💰 Budget-Friendly Living 🛒 Cheap Groceries: Hit E.Leclerc or Action in the suburbs for student-budget groceries. 🍽️ Affordable Eats: Plenty of kebab shops, bakeries, and menu du jour deals. 📸 Must-See Spots ⛪ Notre-Dame-la-Grande (that glowing Romanesque church!) 🏞️ Parc de Blossac (perfect for picnics & city views) 📚 Uni Life (lively terraces, libraries hidden in old mansions) 📌 Verdict: "A dreamy mix of history, student vibes, and slow French living." #Poitiers #FranceTravel #StudentLife #MedievalVibes #HiddenFrance #StudyAbroadLife 🎒🇫🇷
