Today I drove into Poitiers to get the Guardian and The Economist at the railway station. Remarkably the daily newspapers arrive on the day they are published in London - but only available at the Station. There is a TGV connection to the Mediterranean and Paris and beyond.
The middle picture shows a shop that sells everything for 2€. And the quality of the goods is excellent, with bargains galore.
The bottom photo is a panoramic view of the central square that contains the Hotel de Ville - the administrative centre of the city. Over Xmas the central section contained an ice skating rink, open to all, which was very popular.
After 9 years living in France, near Poitiers in the heart of the countryside, we've moved back to England. We are in Margate, within half a mile of the sea, in a small development of new houses...........David Sefton

If you subscribe to the Economist directly, you get huge discounts asnd access to their web site.
Probably the same for other papers too.
