Poitiers

Today I won't go any farther then Poitiers, only 60 km. It is a town very worth visiting and my legs do not the work I would like them to do.
Poitiers has a lot of interseting historical places. In one of them, the pilgrim's church of St Hilaire, I enjoyed a concert of Haendel: "The ways of Zion do mourn" (choir and organ). Wonderful in such acoustics.
For a tourist it is easy to find the highlights, they simply painted coloured lines on the pavement.
I close my visit to Poitiers with a dinner on a terrace (with a drizzle).
