The region known as Limousin, which consists of Haute Vienne, Creuse and Correze, has been incorporated in the new region of Nouvelle Aquitaine since 2016.

Your neighbours are almost certain to be welcoming as long as you treat them with the respect that anyone who chooses to live off the land deserves.

Life in Limousin is as gentle as the
