The TGV from paris to bordeaux passes through Poitiers and it only takes an hour and a half, so is brill! Also the auto-route runs nearby
Buses! Cheap, Frequent, and cover loads of routes!
Although generally, Poitiers is so small, you will reach everything you need by foot.

The TGV from Paris to Poitiers takes between 1:30 to 1:50 h depending on the amount of stops. In Poitiers you can get around by bus (e.g. line 9 if you want to go to Parc du Futuroscope) or taxi. Numbered buses drive during the week, busses A, B, C and D during the weekend. In the city-center everything can be done by foot.
