Our shaded terraces for a beautiful summer
Want to enjoy a relaxing lunch with colleagues, a drink with friends or a snack with family on these hot summer days? Let yourself be guided to the beautiful shaded terraces of Limoges. Around the Central Halls, or in the district of the city and on the banks of Vienne discover the list of our essential terrace addresses.
Refreshing delights for your taste buds
The Tourist Office team got into the game of beating the tasting record for the best ice cream in Limoges! That would be sorbet or rather ice cream, we have selected for you several addresses of frozen treats to be found throughout the city. Of Valentine's Day Ice Cream rue Jean Jaurès, via the Coudert Glacier rue Othon Peconnet, to Orchard of the Moon to be found at the Friche des Ponts,… there is an embarrassment of choice and therein lies the difficulty.
History lovers: it's happening under your feet!
City of Art and History, Limoges is an inexhaustible source of historical knowledge that it is also possible to find under your feet, in the cool. Hidden out of sight (and out of the sun), the underground passages of the Rule and the Saint-Martial Crypt transport you to another era. Call for passionate about history, legends and geology who will enjoy benefiting from the knowledge of our tour guides for whom these places no longer hold any secrets.
Canoeing and activities on the banks of the Vienne: anti-heat wave remedy
If you feel like enjoying a sporting and unusual activity, opt for our guided canoe tour “Limoges along the water”, refreshment guaranteed. For the less adventurous, a stroll along the banks of the Vienne is an excellent option for enjoying the Limoges landscape while keeping out the heat. As a bonus: don't hesitate to quench your thirst in one of the many terraces that adorns Vienne or go to our summer guinguette, the Friche des Ponts for a festive and gourmet break.
