Limousin is just famous for its porcelain, cattle, landscapes and rural landscapes .... The Tapestries of Aubusson
In the 15th century Felletin and Aubusson in the Creuse, became the centre of the world for tapestry making using the work of some of the best know painters in the history of art for inspiration. Watteau, Picasso, Le Corbusier, Dom Robert, Picard le Doux, Riberzani, have all had their work transformed into tapestries.
On lake Vassivière Island there is an impressive Centre for Contemporary Art, and the island itself is a showpiece of modern sculptures based on the theme of integrating nature into the landscape. Other interesting exhibition spaces can be found in Limoges, Eymoutiers and Meymac in the Correzze. It is this commitment to showing the best of modern art, to guarding its rich artistic history, the romance of its ancient monuments, the quality of light and the wildness of the landscape that make the Limousin an ideal destination for artists and art lovers today. Those looking for art and painting holidays will be sure to find a course ideally suited to their needs and they will be able to experience this unspoilt landscape much as Corot and Monet did over a century ago.
