Place du Maréchal-Leclerc - Welcome to Place du Maréchal Leclerc, the central square of Poitiers! Some locals still refer to it as Place d’Arms. It has also been known as Place Nationale during the Revolution, Place Royale in the Renaissance, and Place du Point of Sale in the Middle Ages when it was the city’s economic hub.
