With 20.000 students out of 100.000 inhabitants, Poitiers has one of the French most active student life.
So once upon a time, when I still live in beautiful France, I managed a project within my Business school called “Dédale”, which was an online guide for students in Poitiers. I was thrilled that my idea had been picked by the direction to make a project and that I could manage the other students - that were one class below me. It was pretty cool, mostly because the team did a great job and made my life as their “supervisor” very easy but also because it was just fun to explore the city I thought I knew so well, and still get (good) surprises. Sadly, after two years of existence, nobody was there to take it over, and the guide died. The page was deleted from the internet. Bouhouhouh.
Now – couple of years later – some people within my former school found that an online guide would be pretty cool and started a whole new project. I have absolutely nothing to do with it and they did not use our now outdated basis, so the credit is all theirs. They are from my school and they had a smart idea (I just had it earlier ;-) ) so I thought it can not hurt to acknowledge the great job done and advertise their guides. I KNOW it is planned to have an English Version nevertheless so far it is just in French. Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you the Pic’ton Guide:

By the way, picton is the word for Poitiers inhabitants.
My dear friends enjoy Poitiers in the name of those who can not and miss it!
