Captivating Limoges

Limoges is a lovely city in central France that you have probably never even heard of. Or if you have heard of it, it is probably because of its fine china, porcelain and other fire arts that are world famous.
Mostly though, it has been bypassed and it can still be enjoyed without masses of tourists crowding the streets. And there is so much more to Limoges than just porcelain.
This elegant capital city of the ancient Limousin region can trace its history back over 2,000 years. Whilst remaining proud of its heritage, Limoges is now a bustling modern city with many attractions for today's visitors. It is small and compact, so most of it is accessible on foot.
