Porcelaine Royal Limoges

Dating from 1797, Royal Limoges is one of the city's oldest porcelain factories. Entered from the showroom, a sparse but appealing Four des Casseaux has a computer simulation of the creation process and some enlightening sepia photos around the 1900 Four des Casseaux, a now rare two-story brick kiln that would once have fired 15,000 plates using 13 tonnes of coal.

It’s set back from the river 800m northeast of the cathedral, entered beside the big McDonald's. Free parking opposite.
