Here you can find gorgeous gloves at the Agnelle workshop , bags and belts at Daguet , plus all sorts of leather goods at Le Tanneur et Cie. The leather comes from the quite beautiful Limousin cattle, which substantially outnumber humans in this region. Chestnut-red, and sporting lovely horns, they also supply the steaks which many locals thrive on. Another traditional craft that Limousin is famous for is the production of oak barrels for cognac and wine storage.
The numerous oak forests dotted around the countryside have for centuries provided the wood for these barrels. The good people of Limousin know how to party, too. As with much of France, most festivals tend to take place in the summer months. While each village has its small-scale celebrations, there are a couple of biggies. The latter is a very grim, very sad and very poignant place to visit. Back in , after learning that an SS officer had been held captive in the town, the Germans killed a total of people, including children.
Limoges also has daily flights from Paris and other European cities, although there is usually only one per day. By train Pancras it is a cheap and quick option. Advertiser Login Email Address.
