Rising from the sunflower fields on the plains of Poitou, Poitiers appears reminiscent of a scene from the Wizard of Oz. From afar, it may appear stark and uninviting, but first impressions belie the winding streets and half-timbered houses of the old town. Set on a hill above the Clain and Boivre Rivers, Poitiers is an excellent base from which to explore the Loire Atlantique region in a cheap rental car. With cheap car rental locations all over Poitiers and a large variety of discount rental cars, there is no better way to tour Poitiers than by car!

Tour with a Cheap Car Rental in Poitiers

The town's site was selected to command the "Gate of Poitou" to the south, and during the Middle Ages was the capital of the province of Poitou. One of the more interesting cities in Europe, there are Roman baths, amphitheaters and religious buildings, some of which date back to the 4th century. Even if churches are not of particular interest to you, the 12th century Eglise Notre-Dame-la-Grande is worth a look; it is considered one of the finest Romanesque churches in France. Car rental is not necessary to tour the old town but will be useful to visit surrounding villages such as Chauvigny with its medieval old town center.
