The town boasts several churches, in the very centre, Notre Dame de Niort and Saint André de Niort will be well worth a look. Among the town's many museums, the Pilori, formerly the town hall, is a medieval building that is now a museum housing works of visual and contemporary art. The Bernard d'Agesci museum, meanwhile, is a former girls' high school and now houses the Beaux-Arte, Natural History and Education museums.

In this town, nature is not in short supply. The city of Niort, a symbol of biodiversity, has managed to preserve or develop natural areas that are ideal for relaxation. The Jardin de la Brèche in the heart of the city is a good example of how nature is still omnipresent in this urban environment. The Sèvre Niortaise, which runs through the town, is another example. From Port Boinot, you can take a river cruise, canoe or paddle across the river or simply walk or cycle along the banks to join the Vélo Francette. Port Boinot benefits from a remarkably landscaped area, making it a pleasant and peaceful place to visit. Niort is the starting point for the Marais Poitevin, also known as the Venise Verte, which stretches as far as the Vendée coastline. Along the way, you'll find a number of piers where you can take a boat trip. Fishing is also very popular.
