Limoges was the birthplace of Auguste Renoir. Several of his masterpieces are on display at the Musée Municipal de l'Evêché-de-Limoges, which was formerly the Archbishops' palace. This is an ornate 18th century building which also houses a collection of Limoges pieces dating from the 12th century.
Situated on a plateau overlooking the River Vienne is the Gothic Cathedral. It is well worth a visit, surrounded by the Jardin de L'Eveche, a botanical garden filled with medicinal herbs and flowers. Venturing west, you can walk through the narrow streets of the old quarter.
