Limousin, on the western slopes of the Massif Central, attracts visitors in search of
unspoiled countryside and has been named by poets "the land of a thousand
lakes". The many lakes and the rivers of this area provide endless possibilities for
canoeing, sailing, windsurfing and other water sports. Fishermen will also appreciate the
abundant trout in the region's streams and brooks.
Rushing rivers, undulating pastures, woodland and hedgerows are dotted with historical
fortresses and imposing châteaux, in this most beautiful region of France.
Limoges is the capital of the Limousin
region. Hundreds of ancient village churches dot the landscape
as well as more imposing abbey churches and fortresses. Its
moorlands have made the Limousin a region of horse-breeders.
Limousin is also well known for the famous Limoges enamel and
porcelain, and tapestries from
Aubusson.
