Neglected and driven past, Limousin has only recently become popular
with tourists looking for off-the-beaten track holidays where the
quintessential old fashioned image of rural France still exists.
Limousin cattle graze on the pasturelands, sheep roam over the lower
slopes of the Cévennes and the rivers and lakes teem with fish. Increasingly
they teem with practically every form of outdoor water activity imaginable,
from fishing to kayaking.
The countryside works hard for its living here. Pasturelands support the
famous Limousin cattle and the clear waters of the river Creuse support the
dye making for the centuries' old tradition of tapestry making.
It’s fairly remote, refreshingly under populated with clutches of villages
and towns that seemingly have changed little in hundreds of years.
Traditional crafts such as tapestry and weaving have seen a resurgence due
largely to some modern innovations and enameled cloisonné jewelers being
back in demand.
