Limoges Cathedral
- Limoges boasts the spectacular gothic church you'd expect to find only north of the Loire River.
- Even though it was begun in the 1200s but wasn't completed for another six centuries, the structure has a pleasing uniformity.
- The most valuable decorations in the interior are from the Renaissance.
- The first stop is the rood screen, a 1500s decoration that would have separated the chancel from the nave.
- It was commissioned by Bishop Jean de Langeac, whose carved tomb is the cathedral's other valuable artwork.
Jardin Botanique de l’Evêché
- After leaving the cathedral, you can stroll around the five-hectare park built on terraces along the Vienne's steep right bank.
- The views from the terrace walls are stunning, and you'll have a great time exploring the numerous gardens.
- The botanical gardens, which contain over 1,000 species, are organised by topic.
- You'll find plots of plants for food colouring, medicinal plants, a vegetable garden, and plants used in old trades like tanning and dyeing.
- A French parterre with precision-trimmed symmetrical lawns, fountains, boxwoods, the Museum of Fine Arts sculpture garden, and many places to relax and ponder for a few minutes is also available.
