Limoges

Limoges stands on the Vienne River in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, where the western edge of the Massif Central slopes toward a broad river valley. The city is internationally associated with porcelain: kaolin discovered near Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche in 1768 helped establish the industry for which Limoges became renowned. The Musée national Adrien Dubouché traces this ceramic tradition, from early tableware to contemporary design. In the old Butchers’ Quarter, timber-framed buildings and the Chapelle Saint-Aurélien recall the trades that shaped the historic centre.
