In Poitiers, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like train stations and popular tourist sites. Scams involving overcharging in taxis or at local markets have occasionally been reported. It is advisable to stay vigilant with personal belongings and use official transportation services to ensure safety.
