Poitiers-Biard Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Poitiers-Biard airport is just two kilometres from the centre: a taxi takes under ten minutes and the local bus only a little longer, so travellers with a dawn flight lose no time by sleeping close to the terminal. Those who'd rather stroll through the old town, between Notre-Dame-la-Grande and the cathedral quarter, or catch the TGV the next morning, find it easier to stay in the city, a short walk from the station. With Poitiers this compact, the choice depends more on flight times than on distance.
