Niort, a charming city in France's Deux-Sevres department, is steeped in history and offers a delightful blend of old-world charm and modern amenities. With its picturesque landscapes, cultural attractions, and rich heritage, it has something for everyone. One glance at the vintage posters adorning the walls of local establishments like Barre Bicycles or Barre Cars takes you back to circa 1895 when Auto Barre was making waves in Paris. These posters serve as reminders of an era long gone but not forgotten. As you explore the city further, a map of Deux-Sevres - No. 79 reveals the region's geographical beauty and highlights Niort's strategic location within it. The map serves as your guide to discovering hidden gems tucked away amidst lush greenery and rolling hills. However, not all stories from it can idyllic. A tragic incident that shook the city occurred on September 20th, 1891 – a mother killed by her own son. This somber lithograph from Le Petit Parisien captures the heart-wrenching event that left an indelible mark on Niort's history. Yet despite such dark moments, there is much beauty to be found in this enchanting place. An engraving showcases Niort itself with its timeless architecture standing tall against blue skies dotted with fluffy clouds. It paints a picture of serenity and tranquility that can still be experienced today. The Chateau de Niort stands proudly along the banks of La Sevre-Niortaise river—a sight captured beautifully in a color photograph that transports you back to another time when Francoise d'Aubigne (Madame Scarron) graced these grounds around 1670. Niort continues to evolve while preserving its historical significance. Modern-day photographs depict bustling streets lined with vibrant shops and cafes where locals gather for lively conversations over cups of coffee or glasses of wine.
