With an area of 16,942 km², the région of Limousin has three départements: Corrèze (19), Creuse (23) and Haute-Vienne (87).
The regional
prefecture of Limousin is Limoges.
Neighbouring regions are Aquitaine, Auvergne,
Centre, Midi-Pyrénées
and Poitou-Charentes.
Limousin's natural landscape is the major attraction for visitors
to the region. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy all the sporting possibilities that the
rivers, lakes and mountains offer.
Culture vultures can get their buzz too from the Gallo-Roman remains
and medieval ruins to fabulous château and abbeys.
While Limoges is famous for its tapestry, Aubusson is France's capital
of tapestry.
