About the Limousin
Go Limousin
Photos of Limousin
Limousin is often called the land of a thousand lakes and while this may not be 100% true there are a vast number of lakes in this region with pure clean waters ideal for swimming,boating and other watery pastimes.
The region is still relatively unknown and untouched by tourism, so getting away from the masses is something that is easy to do here. There are however many pretty villages, Chateaux, fortresses and mediaeval towns set amongst rolling hills, forests, rivers and lakes
The Capital Limages is world famous for its fine porcelain and enamels. The city dominated by the Gothic cathedral has the River Vienne running through its centre.
