1. Creating a Christmas tree decoration

Musée National Adrien Dubouché - Limoges

To keep you waiting until Christmas, the Musée National Adrien Dubouché in Limoges is offering an activity called “Decorate the Museum Tree”, 2 fun-filled afternoons for children. Children aged 6-12 will have to use their imagination and artistic flair. 👧🏻🧒🏼

The activity begins with a story told by a tour guide. But will the story become reality? Children will have to look for the characters in the museum…👀

And to finish off, participants will be able to create a clay Christmas decoration to hang on the museum tree… or the one at home! 🎄

2. Offering care from the Limousin

La Ferme de Fardissou - Saint-Genest-sur-Roselle

Products to pamper yourself and look after yourself are always a pleasure… and even more so if they’re made on our premises! 💆‍♀️🌿

La Ferme de Fardissou, in Saint-Genest-sur-Roselle, has understood this and created “Bulle de Sève”, a brand of cosmetics made from birch sap with the “Slow Cosmetics” label, which respects the environment and your skin.

From creams to soaps and lotions with multiple properties, you’re spoilt for choice! You can even opt for ready-made or put-together gift sets, perfect for giving at Christmas! 🎁

3. Stroll through the Christmas village

Place de la République - Limoges

Don’t miss a not-to-be-missed event as the festive season approaches in Limoges: the Christmas market on Place de la République 🎄

The little wooden chalets will not only put you in the right mood, they’ll be your best allies when it comes to ideas for local, handcrafted gifts. The producers and shopkeepers of Limousin will be there to offer you the very best of our beautiful destination!

5. Shopping locally

in Nexon and Châlus

The ” Aux P’tites Emplettes ” shops run by the Nexon and Châlus Tourist Offices are a bit like Ali Baba’s cave! Here, you’ll find local products to delight your eyes and taste buds 👀 😋

The shops are open all year round, and get even bigger for the festive season: Jewellery of all kinds, original decorations, tableware, candles, lighting, woven baskets, products to look after yourself and your home, stationery, cards, beautiful books, delicacies….

6. Making your own Christmas decorations

Adrien Dubouché Museum - Limoges

How about a creative Christmas? 🎄

The Musée Adrien Dubouché in Limoges is offering a workshop tour for adults.

The idea is to rediscover this place dedicated, among other things, to Limoges porcelain from a different angle with a game: reconstruct a festive service from the museum’s collections. Then it’s off to the workshop to create your own Christmas mobile!

It’s a really original way to immerse yourself in this cultural space, while going home with a unique decorative piece for your home 🌟

7. Back to wooden toys

La Boissellerie du Lutin - Saint-Léger-la-Montagne

Handcrafted wooden toys that look like they came straight from Santa’s workshop, yes they do exist… in Saint-Léger-la-Montagne! 🧩 🪆

Rediscover the charm of toys and games of yesteryear at the Boissellerie du Lutin, to delight young and old alike.

Each item is carefully crafted on site to revive the nostalgia of grown-ups and bring the magic of Christmas to the little ones at the foot of the tree…🎄

8. Design an original greetings card

Moulin du Got - Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat

At the Moulin du Got, paper is our speciality! For the festive season, if you’re feeling creative, this unique place offers you a family activity: create your own personalised greetings card 👩🏻‍🎨

You can choose everything, from motifs to decorations, and end up with a print on original paper to complete your work.

What more could you ask for than a unique, local design to send out or keep as a souvenir?
