Top places to visit

1. Gare de Limoges

A fantasy in white limestone and green oxidized copper, the Gare de Limoges-Bénédictins is one of the most photogenic locations in all of Limoges. The train station seamlessly marries multiple architectural styles, from belle époque to art nouveau and art deco. Its elaborate decoration is a magnificent example of early 20th-century public architecture. Rising above the city near the Le Jardin du Champ de Juillet, it cannot be missed. Arrive in Limoges by train to see it as an introduction to the city or visit on a walking tour.

2. Limoges Cathedral

Limoges Cathedral, standing proud upon its hill on the banks of the Vienne River, was a labor lasting 600 years for city residents. Construction began in 1273 and ended in the late 19th century, when the nave was finally connected to the church’s bell tower on foundations first created in Roman times. Despite its extended construction history, the church stands as a beautiful example of Gothic architecture, one of few south of the Loire. Approach from the river to see it rise above the trees or wander here through the Old Town.

3. Church of St-Michel-des-Lions

The Church of St.-Michel-des-Lions, with its 200 foot tall (65 meter) bell tower, is a splendid example of Limousin religious architecture. Let the sight of the peaked tower guide you as you wander through the streets until you arrive at the cobbled square before the entrance.

4. Jardin de l'Eveche

Tucked behind the Cathedral of Limoges, the Jardin de l’Évêche is a delightful surprise. The property of the Bishop of Limoges before its 1910 purchase by the city, the park’s 5 acres (2 hectares) are perfect for resting, walking and learning about the plants of the Haute-Vienne region. Relax in the shade of a local oak as you look out at the river and city.
