Lys d'avril - Your getaway to nature

From Limoges, the capital city of the Limousin, to the thousands of tiny hamlets dotted around the landscape, there is a rich variety of villages – many classified as the most beautiful villages in France. The great advantage is that they are much less affected by tourism than many other parts of France.

In Limoges and the surrounding villages you will find beautiful architecture, streetside cafes and bars, parks and all of those indefinable things that make you fall in love with rural France and most important of all – the warm welcome of the Limousin people.

Located less than 30 minutes from the farmhouse, by car, Limoges features such architectural beauties as the magnificent train station with its stunning clock tower, medieval buildings, 13^th century bridges.
An easy way to take in the sights is by taking the tourist train departing from the Tourist Office.

With its river walks, pedestrian shopping streets, covered food market , ornamental gardens and fountains, porcelain shops, brocantes, its Opera and Theatre, impressive Cathedral, art exhibitions and museums, lovely little restaurants tucked away amongst the cobbled streets, well!… Limoges just cries out for exploration and discovery.
