Lost In Limoges

From the sheep-dotted pastures of France's underpopulated Southwest, Limoges rises in all its grey glory. The city's claim to fame: fine porcelain. The half-timbered houses of the Medieval center are surrounded by strip malls and McDo. Land-hungry Brits descend with flailing pocketbooks (thanks, RyanAir). The weather is remarkably cool year-round. Sure, I live on rue de Nice, but this is NOT the Cote d'Azur. Welcome to Limoges, "the middle of nowhere"-- or as Pierre says "everywhere"-- France.

Cinco de Mayo in France



A trip to the beautiful and famous Limoges train station can only mean one thing: friends in town! We were so happy to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with Tobie and Dan. (The margaritas and pinatas may be scarce but the foie gras, cobble-stoned villages and red wine are plentiful...)
