A getaway to Niort: between heritage and exceptional nature

Nestled at the gateway to the "Green Venice," Niort captivates with its subtle balance between historical richness and a gentle way of life. Bisected by the Sèvre Niortaise river, the city invites leisurely strolls, where every alleyway and every landscape tells a story.

The historic heart of Niort

Dominating the city, the majestic Keep of Niort— an imposing medieval vestige composed of two twin towers — embodies the soul of the city. Built in the 12th century, it now offers a remarkable panorama over the rooftops of the city and its surroundings.

At its foot, the Niort market halls (a listed historical monument) and the old town center reveal their charms: cobbled streets, half-timbered houses, and elegant, lively squares. The Pilori , the former town hall, bears witness to Niort's rich commercial past.

For a cultural immersion, the Bernard d'Agesci museum invites you to discover varied collections, blending fine arts, natural sciences and local heritage.

Nature and a gentle way of life along the Sèvre

Niort is distinguished by its green landscapes. The Coulée Verte , a true haven of nature, allows you to walk or cycle along the river, between bridges, islets and peaceful gardens.

Just a short walk from the centre, the Port Boinot site perfectly illustrates the conversion of industrial heritage into a cultural and natural space, now offering a place for visitors to stroll.

The Marais Poitevin: a timeless interlude

Just a few kilometers away, the Marais Poitevin unfolds its enchanting landscapes. Classified as a Regional Natural Park and a Grand Site de France, it invites you to a unique experience: gliding by boat on its shaded canals or exploring its trails by bike.

Nicknamed the "Green Venice", this territory is one of the natural jewels of the region, where calm, freshness and biodiversity reign.
