Scenes of Poitiers

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.

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