This medieval city has many fascinating religious and historic buildings, as well as many pedestrian streets and lovely boutiques that make it a charming place to visit.
Niort’s parking lots are slowly being replaced by green spaces and the buses are fueled with colza oil. You’ll love feeling like you’re in the nature while exploring this city. To top things off, Niort is fully equipped to discover the city on a bike. Follow the “chemins blancs” and discover some wonderful green landscapes.
The city’s historic heritage is rich, and you’ll find out just how much during your stay at our hotel. Eleanor of Aquitaine’s donjon dates back to the 12th century and is one of the most beautiful in France.
While you’re in Niort, don’t miss a chance to visit the Bernard d'Agesci Museum, the Halles, the Boinot mill, Cognac’s Ecomuseum, place de la Brèche (the biggest one in eastern France) and the Pillory.
Booking your room at the Niort Brit Hotel also means that you can go for a walk or a bike ride and enjoy the Marais Poitevin. This will help you understand how the city earned its nickname of “Green Venise”! Marvel at sumptuous landscapes, made of rivers and channels. You’ll fall in love with the charming villages of Amuré, Coulon and Magné.
The Marais Poitevin is France’s second most humid natural space right after Camargue, and as such, an ideal spot to embark on a small boat and discover many natural wonders…
