We Say

Renowned for its beef (Limousin cattle), this region has a strong rural history which is still maintained today. With the many lakes and rivers that flow through this region, it is not only a land filled with beautiful countryside, forests, flora and fauna, but also a dream for fishermen and water sport lovers. The capital city of the region, Limoges is famous for its porcelain and Cathedral and there are many beautiful Hamlets and villages spotted about. The medieval gardens of the Château de Chalus Chabrol were the final resting place for Richard the Lionheart (Richard I), and the town of Borganeuf was an important centre for the Knights Templar. Whilst the deserted village (since the massacre on 10^th June 1944) of Oradour sur Glane brings history more up to date with the senseless atrocities of WWII. To take your mind from this, sporting activities in this region include golf, pony trekking, hiking and cycling. Specialities as well as beef include pâté aux pommes de terre, Clafoutis aux cerises noires, Violet Mustard and Branceille wine. .-Gitecompare.com
