Sports and leisure activities Poitiers

The roof: Poitiers' spot for families and climbers. This "Maison de l'escalade", with its excellent restaurant, is a must in Poitiers. In this beautifully renovated former hangar, bouldering (max. height: 4.5 m) is available from the age of 2. You don't have to be an expert, and you don't have to work in pairs. The hall offers 6 levels of difficulty over 70 linear metres. There's even a climbing area reserved for little ones: ideal! After the effort, the comfort. Rendezvous in the bar-restaurant area. We love the sport, the relaxed atmosphere and the good food.

In addition to exhibitions and conferences to better understand science in general, the Espace Mendès-France offers multidisciplinary workshops. Engineers, artists, animators or researchers make up a rich program. In addition, the planetarium - with its 4,000 stars - allows everyone to immerse themselves in space for an hour and a half and observe the movements of the stars. After the head in the stars, the little ones are invited to workshops that are practiced with their feet on the ground: create a 3D video game, make bread, recycled paper, investigate through DNA, pilot a drone. There are many themes, but the best way to learn is through experimentation and fun.

When the weather's nice and warm, why not take advantage of the Clain! Canoeing down the river is an opportunity to discover a different side of the surrounding area and of Poitiers, and to take time out to admire nature. Departing from Ligugé, Îlot Tison or Dissay, with friends or family, with or without children, don your life jacket, brandish your paddle, climb into your boat and off you go! It's great fun on the water! Other skiffs are available: paddle, unicorn or pink flamingo. Ready for adventure?
