POITIERS

Poitiers was once the French capital, now it is the biggest student city (number of people living there to the student rate) Poitiers is a country town with a unique charm that comes from a long and sometimes influential history  Numerous of churches, museums, but what is Poitiers known for it’s its FUTUROSCOPE, amusement park...based on technology, and pictures...

Futuroscope Poitiers’ best-known attraction is the giant high-tech film theme park called Futuroscope: Le Parc Européen de l'Image, 8km north of the city, a collection of virtual-reality rides which draw onlookers into the action on screen, with the result that you feel you're flying, being flung around, rocketing down a ski slope or catapulting through the solar system in a vertigo-inducing 3-D nightmare.
