Limoges in Limousin

Welcome to Limoges in Limousin! 🍃

A city with surrounding countryside, known not only for its famous Limoges porcelain, but also for its mythical train station, which features every year in the Top 3 most beautiful stations in France.

From the highest points of Limoges, you can admire the countryside and wide-open spaces. There are many green spots within the city.

During your stay, become a seasoned Limougeaud by exploring the authentic butchery district, discovering Limoges’ must-see sites such as the Four des Casseaux, the Adrien Dubouché National Museum, the Reynou Park & Zoo and many others.

Limoges is also a festive city, with its famous Éclats d’Email Jazz festival, the authentic Frairie des petits ventres to discover Limousin gastronomy, and the biennial Toques et Porcelaine festival.

Here, we give you a glimpse of our authentic Limoges, as seen through the eyes of its inhabitants.
