Who are we?
So that the visitor can discover the Limoges Metropolis “differently”, soak up its atmosphere, meet its population and understand the territory, the Greeters are happy to welcome you, as they would with their friends.
They volunteer during their free time, to share their passions during a walk and a friendly meeting. They are true ambassadors of their territory, they can also share favorites and good plans.
Okay, are you ready for discovery?

My favorite walk around Les Halles
All our Greeters are in love with the Halles district, but each in their own way: you will discover according to their taste the mysteries of the brothers of the Limousin Ostensions brotherhoods (listed as UNESCO intangible heritage), the statue of Jesus having a bite to eat, why Auguste Renoir is always at his window (if it is open) with his busty model, the Limousin invention of polyphony and even the Limousin donut… Everything is possible.

Let’s stroll together among the Ponticauds
The cathedral watches over its bridges and you will meet the inhabitants with their particular speech, you will stroll with us on the “Chemin Jacquaire” Way, you will surely meet Hercules in person in the cathedral, you will discover well-hidden sundials and each of the Greeters will go there recount his anecdotes and memories along the waves of the Vienne,

In the land of Saint Eloi
Wooden sword! He was born near Limoges, in Chaptelat, but Eloi is especially famous for having founded the abbey of Solignac, a jewel of Romanesque art. The village itself is…a novel. As you stroll through its streets and along the banks of the Briance, our Greeter will reveal to you the daily life of this village like no other.

Our town in the countryside
Everywhere from Limoges, the second city of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, you can see the countryside but you can also go there and stroll in the parks on hot days on the banks of the Aurence or the Auzette. If you like flowers, trees and children’s games, you will enjoy our welcoming lawns while chatting with one of our Greeters, always bucolic!
