Niort’s mercantile history goes back to its very beginnings, and the city has always enjoyed a thriving trade environment. The Donjon d’Aliénor d’Aquitaine, a listed building, bears witness to the glorious medieval past of this former citadel. But it was not until the 1970s, when the major mutual insurance companies chose to set up their head offices in the city, that it earned its reputation as capital of the French social economy, which it retains to this day.
From the Brèche to thebanks of the Sèvre, the city centre, dotted with shops and narrow pedestrian streets, is a popular place to walk around. And for a nature escape through ‘Green Venice’, take the Coulée Verte, laid out along the route of the former towpath, either on foot, by bicycle or even on horseback. Lastly, hikers will enjoy the 53 kilometres of signposted trails that surround the city.
Niort has successfully reconciled culture with history to further highlight its unique heritage. For example, the Pilori, the former City Hall and a Renaissance-style gem, is now an exhibition hall. In the Halles Baltardthe market has of course taken over, while remarkable places of worship such as the Eglise de Notre-Dame and Eglise Saint-André as well as the Protestant Templestill hold church services.
Niort regularly hosts major events like Foirexpo, one of the biggest consumer fairs in western France, attracting thousands of visitors on the first weekend of May each year, and the Rencontres de la jeune photographie internationale, both of which marked their 20th anniversaries in 2014. Since 2010 the city has also hosted a multidisciplinary festival named Téciverdi which celebrates natural and cultural biodiversity.
