Niort is a town that surprises with its dual identity. On one hand, it is the French capital of mutual insurance: MAIF, MAAF, Groupama-Niort and others have their headquarters here, making this Deux-Sèvres prefecture a major economic hub with one of France's lowest unemployment rates. On the other hand, Niort is the main gateway to the Marais Poitevin, France's second largest wetland, nicknamed 'Green Venice' for its ash and poplar-shaded canals navigated in flat-bottomed boats (plates) guided by a boatman. Niort's historical heritage centres on the imposing Plantagenet keep (12th century), one of the best preserved in France, a double square tower built by Henry II Plantagenet and Richard the Lionheart. The Niort market hall (spectacular 1869 metal hall, Baltard style) hosts one of the finest markets in Poitou. The medieval quarter around Rue Saint-Jean and the Pilori (former communal house, Flamboyant Gothic) retains authentic charm. The Sèvre Niortaise flows through town offering pleasant walks. The Niort jazz festival (May) and Niort Book Fair (November) enliven cultural life. Niort is also an excellent base for exploring the Marais Poitevin: the boat docks at Coulon and Arçais are 10-15 km away.
Route
Route Bordeaux → Niort
From Bordeaux, your driver takes the northern ring road then the A10 towards Paris. The motorway crosses Charente-Maritime (Mirambeau, Saintes set back) then enters the Deux-Sèvres department. After Saint-Jean-d'Angély and Surgères (famous for its AOP butter), the landscape changes: southern vineyards give way to bocage hedgerows and Poitou meadows. The Niort exit appears after about 2h of motorway. Arrival in town is quick, Niort being directly accessible from the motorway interchange. A10 tolls amount to approximately €20. The journey is smooth outside major holiday weekends (the A10 is the busiest Paris-Bordeaux axis in France). In summer, the southbound Saturday can be busy between Niort and Saintes.
Main route: A10 direction Paris — ~20 € de péages

Specific tips for the Bordeaux → Niort route
The Marais Poitevin (Green Venice) is the absolute must: the boat docks at Coulon (10 km) and Arçais (15 km) offer guided boat trips (1-2h, €8-15 per person). Our drivers can take you there directly from Bordeaux (supplement of €15-20) or from Niort. The Plantagenet keep (visit: €5, 1h) offers a panorama over the town and Sèvre from the top. The Niort market hall (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday mornings) is a treat: tourteau fromagé (blackened goat cheese cake, a Poitevin speciality), farci poitevin (green vegetable terrine), Surgères AOP butter. The Pilori quarter is charming for a coffee or aperitif. For business travellers (mutual insurance headquarters), our drivers know the conference centre and head office addresses. Niort angélique (candied aromatic plant) is an original and historic souvenir (Baurens confectionery).
