Niort

Niort sits on the Sèvre Niortaise in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, where the urban centre gives way to the waterways and wet meadows of the Marais Poitevin. The two Romanesque towers of the Donjon de Niort, a surviving part of a 12th-century castle, are the city’s defining medieval monument and now house a museum. Long linked to river trade, Niort developed into an important administrative and commercial centre of historic Poitou; today it is also known in France for its concentration of mutual insurance companies. Market halls and riverside paths keep daily life close to the water. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Nouvelle-Aquitaine connects regionally.
