Welcome to Limoges in Limousin! 🍃

A town with the surrounding countryside, known for its famous Limoges porcelain but also its mythical railway 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 areas within the city.

During your stay, become a seasoned Limougeaud by exploring the authentic butcher’s quarter, and discover Limoges’ must-see sites such as the Four des Casseaux oven, the Adrien Dubouché National Museum, the Reynou Park and Zoo, and many others.

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

Here, we bring you a slice of our authenticity, our Limoges as seen by the locals.
