Limoges

Famed as one of the world's leading manufacturers of porcelain, Limoges is something of a household name without many of us even knowing it. However, in the modern day, it's the ideal destination for fans of modest city life, a small but perfectly formed cousin to Paris.

Unearth nature nearby

In stark contrast to the traditional cityscape of Limoges, you can find yourself in nature's playground Périgord-Limousin Regional Nature Park in under an hour. 

2,000km of trails cover the park's impressive geological and biological landscapes which you can explore by hiking on foot, horseback, mountain bike, or for something different; velo-rail.
