Poitiers - St Porchaire

In Poitiers, north of Place Leclerc is the church of St- Porchaire (16th C.), with a Romanesque tower. Beyond this is the Palais de Justice (Law Courts), which incorporates the keep (1386-1395) and parts of the former Ducal Palace. Particularly notable is the timber-roofed Grande Salle (12th-13th C., with further work about 1400).
