Tips to visit in Limoges

PORCELAIN

Limoges, porcelain city

Is Limoges nice to visit, and what are the sights in this porcelain city in the Limousin? Limoges (135,000 inhabitants) is located about 35 kilometers from Camping du Lac and is worldwide known for the porcelain that is made here. There are various spots where you can learn everything about the world famous porcelain, how it is made and why the clay from the area is so special.

A city walk in Limoges takes you past most of the sights. It is a route of 7 kilometers from la gare Bénédictines. This almost a century old station is also the first attraction.

To give you an idea of what to expect, we've collected some photos and videos of the most popular places to visit in Limoges below.

Places to visit

Gare Bénédictines

This monumental station is almost 100 years old (since 1929). Also, don't forget to look up inside for the ornaments and the stained glass windows. Fun fact: the clocks on the tower are 2 minutes ahead to avoid delays by travelers. The station can also be seen in the opening scene of an advertising spot for perfume Chanel N°5.

Aquarium du Limousin

This aquarium has been set up on a small scale with 200,000 liters of water, but that is precisely why it is interesting. Fun and educational for both children and adults, even when the weather is not so good.

Cathedrale St-Etienne

Beautiful example of Gothic architecture and surrounded by a large botanical garden.

Quartier de la Boucherie

This is the old butcher's quarter of Limoges. The roads slope down a bit so that the blood could easily flow away at the time. Today, the distinctive facades of the many houses are the setting for terraces and small shops. According to many, this is the most pleasant part of Limoges :-)

Manufacture Bernardaud

This is where porcelain is made for the most exclusive restaurants in the world. There is a shop with all kinds of porcelain and a porcelain museum with an art exhibition.
