Limoges

Welcome to Limoges in Limousin! 🍃

A town with surrounding countryside, known for its famous Limoges porcelain but also its mythical station which features every year in the Top 3 most beautiful stations in France.

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

Discover Limoges’ authentic butchery quarter and the city’s must-see sites, such as the Four des Casseaux or the Musée National Adrien Dubouché , the Parc & Zoo du Reynou and many more.

Limoges is also a festive town brought to life by its famous Eclats d’Email Jazz edition festival, the authentic Frairie des petits ventres to discover Limousin gastronomy, as well as the biennial Toques et Porcelaine.

Here we give you a taste of our authenticity, our Limoges as seen by the locals.
