Limoges in 4 days

An iron market hall built from 1885 to 1889, with a frieze of porcelain panels under the roof showing the food sold below.

The world's largest public collection of Limoges porcelain, following the craft from local kaolin to the kilns, then ceramics from antiquity to today.

A street of timber-framed houses where butchers kept their stalls for centuries, with the small baroque chapel of their patron, Saint Aurélien.

In the eighteenth-century bishop's palace, eight centuries of Limoges enamel, from medieval reliquary caskets to Renaissance painted plaques and modern work.

A Gothic cathedral in hard granite, begun in 1273 and only finished in 1888, with a 62-metre bell tower on a Romanesque base.

Terraced gardens stepping down from the cathedral to the Vienne: formal above, a botanical garden of local, medicinal and world plants below.

A 1929 station built on a deck above the tracks, with a 67-metre clock tower and a copper dome mixing neoclassical and Art Deco.

Where an SS company killed 643 people on 10 June 1944; the burnt ruins, rusted cars and sewing machines have been left as they were.
