Limoges is famous for the porcelain that is produced in the area and a trip round the Bernadaud Porcelain Factory is well worth it for anyone that is interested in this part of Limoges' culture and history. The guided tour will show visitors how the famous porcelain is made.
Limoges' Gothic Cathedral is one of Limoges' main landmarks and one of France's national monuments. It is also a main tourist attraction in the area.
The Old Townis also not to be missed. Left as it was after the destruction caused in the massacre during WWII, this part of the city is now a tribute to both the world wars and those that died during them. Most tourists find a tour of the area to be emotional and moving, but a must during a visit to Limoges.
For families or couples who would prefer a modern hotel, fairly reasonably priced just outside Limoges, the Novotel Limoges Le Lac is a good choice. It has attractive walking trails, a pool, terrace, restaurant and bar.
