Location
The Limousin region is renowned for its stunning scenery of lush green fields, where the Limousin cattle graze, with regional parks, chateaux, lakes, markets, potteries, caves, golf courses and pretty hill top towns.
The Limousin makes a wonderful holiday destination for those seeking space, peace and tranquillity, with plenty of added attractions and excellent food. This is one of the least populated areas of France and the Corrèzian people are the friendliest in the country.
The Limousin has been likened to the English Lake District due to its number of natural lakes and water ways. Many of the larger lakes offer water sport facilities and have man made beaches of soft white sand, making them an ideal place to spend the day reading, sunbathing or swimming. The surrounding woodlands are excellent to explore, many with rambling trails, which provide many photographic inspirations.
There are many wonderful villages and cities to explore in this region with stunning architecture, cathedrals and churches, excellent restaurants, and during the summer months a wealth of art exhibitions and markets. Many are situated high on hill tops, offering magnificent views across the countryside.
Limoges, the capital for the Limousin, is a fascinating historic city, famous for its fine porcelain and enamels, with ancient buildings, quaint streets, smart shops, squares to sit and relax with a drink and food, old market, museums, gardens, galleries and porcelain museums, where you can learn more about this famous pottery
