Limousin is a region of contrasts. Whether you choose the Creuse, Corrèze or Haute-Vienne départements, you will not be disappointed. Lakes, rivers, granite, chestnut forest, heather and wide open spaces are the common denominators of all three.

You wont be bored with the variety or traditional festivals, village feast-days, local fairs and concerts, allowing one the opportunity of meeting the people and sharing the local lifestyles and customs especially in the enjoyment of the hearty meals of the area.

If you are looking for rural France head to Limousin with its woodland, green hills and pasture land.

It is here that the famous Limousin cattle are bred with the local economy based on agriculture.

Canoeing, kayaking, fishing and sailing are popular here.

The region has many springs, rivers and inland lakes particularly in the Creuse area known as the 'water tower' or 'chateau d'eau' of France.

Limoges is the largest city in the region and owes it name to the enamel and fine china trade. Visit the museums and craft shops.
