guide to limoges

location
Limoges, the economic capital of western France, first distinguished itself as an artistic centre, in the 11th century, thanks to the Abbey of St. Martial and its extensive library. The city’s school for medieval music composition also earned respect during this time. Limoges was marked by two distinct sections of town, on either side of the Vienne River: La Cité, or Vieux Limoges, and Le Château, or La Ville Haute, up on the summit, where the fortifications sat. The city’s venerable buildings were dealt a major blow during the French Revolution – the Abbey of St. Martial was one notable structure destroyed. The 19th century saw Limoges began to rebuild, capitalizing on the financial boost provided by a burgeoning porcelain industry. Porcelain and enamel production continue to be the city’s economic foundation. 

things to see
imoges has so fully embraced its porcelain industry over the years that you will see signs of it everywhere. Many of the city centre’s signature buildings feature decorative porcelain tiles, not to mention the facades of plenty of houses. To get a sense for the process and the history of porcelain in Limoges, you can visit the Royal Limoges factory, one of the oldest shops (dating to 1798) still in operation. The Pavillon de la Porcelaine is also a popular spot to watch a piece being made, and visit a museum dedicated to porcelain masterpieces, including some originally designed for use in the United States White House.

There are several charming towns easily reachable by car hire. If you’re looking to make a day trip on your holiday, Périgueux is less than 100 kilometres from Limoges, and a fine place to indulge your inner gourmand. Foie gras is considered a regional specialty, and truffles are also a signature delicacy. If history’s more to your taste, medieval churches and Roman ruins are another draw in Périgueux. You can pick up your car hire at Limoges International Airport.
