Walking up the steps to the Dunes is well worth it for the great panoramic view.

The Dunes panorama in Poitiers offers a breathtaking view of the city and its surroundings, constituting a place of contemplation and serenity. Located on a hill to the west of the city, this site is dominated by a statue of the Virgin Mary, which has watched over Poitiers since 1945. Erected in gratitude for the protection granted to the city during the Second World War, this statue has become a local symbol of peace and hope.

From the Dunes, one can admire a vast panorama of the city's rooftops, with its bell towers, spires, and historic monuments that stand out on the horizon. The Saint-Pierre Cathedral, the Notre-Dame-la-Grande church, and the Palais de Justice are all landmarks visible from this promontory. The contrast between the urban spaces and the surrounding nature, with forests and fields stretching as far as the eye can see, offers a striking perspective.

The Dunes site is also a popular place for walking, with paths that wind through the green spaces, inviting relaxation and reflection. The presence of the statue of the Virgin adds a spiritual dimension to this place, making it a privileged place for meditation and contemplation.
