Another remarkable building in the city of Limoges, the church of Saint-Pierre-du-Queyroix has Romanesque-inspired architecture, mixed with some Gothic touches added in the 19th century, such as gables or balustrades.
Here you are in front of the Barres Fountain, which is in the form of a pyramid dating from the 17th century.
Here, it is not the Champ de Mars, but the Champ de juillet that you cross, which leads straight to the Benedictine station.
Here you are in front of THE emblematic monument of Limoges, the train station of the Benedictines. And thatu2019s not much to say, since it is considered one of the most beautiful stations in the world!
This small square located in the center of several avenues and boulevards pays tribute to the Limougeaud military Jean-Baptiste Jourdan, winner of one of the battles of the Revolution, the Battle of Fleurus which took place in 1794.
You have here, in the heart of the Rue Saint-Affre which recalls the medieval period of the city, a very nice view of the back of the Cathedral Saint-u00c9tienne, one of the symbols of Limoges.
This bridge steeped in history offers a beautiful view of the surroundings, the Pont Neuf and the houses that make up the other side of the Vienne.
