Discover the historic districts of Limoges
You're not local? And if you took the opportunity to visit the must-sees of Limoges ? At the heart of city district or by its other name the lower town, with the St. Stephen's Cathedral as a backdrop, it's the ideal place for a luminous adventure! Who says Limoges, says walk along the banks of Vienne passing through the medieval bridge St Etienne. After shining brightly, why not dive into history at Museum of Fine Arts ? And for a touch of exoticism, go and discover the exhibition on ancient Egypt “A life in Egypt” presenting unpublished works from the Louvre in particular. A perfect mix between light, art and discoveries.
After the lower town, the upper town awaits you! We no longer recommend the butcher's quarter why not through one of our guided tours ou the Central Halls that will make you salivate with all the limousine specialties. Between two discoveries, take a break craft shopping in the pedestrian shopping streets: rue du clocher, rue du consulat, rue du temple and rue Jean Jaurès. And since we're in the area, take a look at the Adrien Dubouché museum, where the Porcelain is celebrated. It's still the porcelain museum the largest in Europe ! You have plenty to do!
So, what are you waiting for to leave for the Kingdom of Enlightenment? ?
