5/29 - Au revoir to Limoges

Bonjour! This is Elizabeth and Molly coming to you with the latest updates on the ventures of your favorite French travelers. 


We ended last night with a lively dinner where we were joined by Sanaa, who is the university student we met the previous day after visiting schools! We met with her because she is studying education here at the University of  Limoges. During dinner we had the opportunity to discuss various topics such as differences in our cultures, university life, and language, including exchanging slang words, and a variety of friendly topics. We loved having the opportunity to make a friend here in France!

This morning our whole group spent time packing up before heading out for the day. While this is our final morning in Limoges before heading back to Paris, we definitely still made the most of our final hours here.

Today, we had lots of free time to explore the city of Limoges and all it has to offer. The architecture in Limoges includes beautiful historic buildings, some dating back to the 1200s. Below is a picture of Quartier de la Boucherie which is one of the oldest sections in Limoges. It reminded us of Beauty and the Beast!


We visited many small shops with great souvenirs, jewelry, clothes, and food. For us, the farthest part of our wandering led us to a beautiful cathedral and a botanical garden with great views overlooking the city. This was a peaceful area that provided us with space to reflect on our time spent in Limoges. Throughout our exploring everyone found somewhere to grab lunch with enough time to meet back at our hotel at 2pm to head off for our train. Paris here we come!
