Final comments
The best way to travel to Poitiers is by train. And you can travel in the province as well. The only way and the fastest way to travel in France is by TGV unless you have a car.
It's better to go the first semester (September till January) because in that period, there are more exchange students. It's easier to make contact with exchange student than with French students. Unless you speak fluent French than it's easy to make contact with French students.
My advice is: don't expect too much
