This series of some two-dozen-plus short tales will take you through great parts of the history of Poitiers. The stories, arranged for the most past in sequence, illustrates many of Poitiers’ historic, and humorous, moments: where Wisigoths bathed (Christianity Sinks In), the events that made France France (twice!), Joan of Arc, Troubadours, vanished royalty (The Missing Emperor), Doomed Templars, and even a Nun-Eating Dragon (La Grande Goule & other Notorious Abbey Tales). Read “The Tales of Poitiers” through altogether, or sample in bits and pieces, or enjoy them where they appear as part of the recommended walks.
