Limoges: France’s Severely Underrated Hidden Gem 🇫🇷✨

I stumbled upon Limoges by road trip—and fell in love. This tiny, overlooked city is so under the radar that even many French folks barely know it exists. As my Limoges-born friend in Shanghai warned: "Bring Google Translate—locals rarely see foreigners here." Craved a crêpe, but my banana split order turned out to be ice cream and cupcakes 🍦… yet next door, I stumbled upon a secondhand bookstore and bought another cheap Tintin book! Wandered toward the cathedral and—memory unlocked!—discovered the hidden botanical garden behind it 🌿. I’d forgotten Limoges had a river, but the universe guided me there anyway—it was right behind the garden! 🌊 Passed City Hall and accidentally crashed a wedding 💒 (saw the bride—so pretty!). Dinner was Rossini-style Limousin steak 🥩 (with foie gras—fancy but too rich for one person). Yet, its melancholic charm makes the sunlight feel like it’s filtered through the wind itself. And let’s not forget—its Chinese name is even more poetic than "Limoges." This city deserves better. #OffTheBeatenPath #HistoricArchitecture #SoloTravel #CulturalGems #FranceTravel #Wanderlust 📸🌍
