During the summer months you find these 'chairs' on the square in front of Poitiers' Hotel de Ville.
They re-appeared at Easter and are perfect for hanging around on. People move them about to create groups or pull them away to sit/ lounge by themselves.
Over by the Cathedral the seating is more traditional -- classic stone benches; but they come with the added bonus of the friendly Cathedral cat, who looks more than a little like a heftier version of Tinka :-)

Hip news: Antoinette is home from the hospital and everything is going extremely well. She's mobile - 1 crutch inside, 2 crutches outside and looking forward to some sunny weather so she can do her walking exercise outside!

It looks like you might get your wish for sunny weather over the weekend!
I do hope so! We are all in need of some consistent summer weather. I want to see what's growing out there [besides the grass that is!]
Hope Nick got back ok.
Hip hooray!
@Susan - LOL! :-)
Susan... that was terrible!!
Just as Antoinette is trying to get herself up to speed with the "Hippy, Hippy Shake"...
Blij dat je revalidatie vlot verloopt. I bet you are happy to be home again, in your familiar surroundings and the purring of the cats. Hope the bright green crutches don't frighten them. Take care! Martine
Good news that you are home and doing so well...bet the cats are a mix of vaguely indignant at your absence and delight at your return.
@Tim - groan!! If I tried that it would be more of a case of "Twist and Shout" ;-)
@Martine - cats very pleased to see us, although Shadow does not like mistress' 'green' leg!
@Fly - the 1st night and yesterday we couldn't move for clingy cats. Now becoming blasé.
Hurray for the return home and continuing uimprovement.:-)
Those funky chairs are so very French. :-)
Yes allow me to add my congratulations on being home - best wishes for a continued speedy recovery.
I love those "cool" chairs.
@Perpetua - thanks :-)
@Craig - we love the way you can move them about to suit.
Thanks.
Love those seats. I'd like one of those for my garden.
@AJ - You and me both :-) We'd love one for out under the trees.
Glad to hear Antoinette is out of the hospital and doing well. I'm not the only one to have thought of Hip! hip! hip! hoorra!
I keep my fingers crossed for nice weather to speed recovery. No driving for four weeks! LOL
@chm - I'm doing fine thanks and the hip says hurrah back :-).
