Experience in Poitiers, France by Mets L'anis

Poitiers is a middle age city with a lovely city centre. You can do many activities such as going to the cinema, bars, concerts, museums, restaurants and clubs. Yes, it's not a huge city but it is good to live here! Plus you can rent a flat and a bike for a really good price!

What advice would you give future students heading to Poitiers?

Even if it is handier to live in the campus it is better to live in the centre (it is also more expensive but you can find a trade off).
