Between city and nature, Destination Limoges offers a perfect setting for those wishing to have a good stay, but it is also an area conducive to cycle tourism. Indeed, it is on the lands of Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat that the famous Raymond Poulidor spent most of his life. So, if you want to discover Limousin, what better way than to do it by bike?
