Limousin property marketLimousin is made of three departments, Haute Vienne, Creuse and Correze. The Haute Vienne, a region of open countryside, with Limoges as its capital, stretches westwards from the flanks of the Massif Central. Being the first obstruction to be met by the clouds off the Atlantic, its eroded and corrugated granite base is subjected to a great deal of rain, which is why the region is green and abundantly wooded. To the north of the department lies the Basse Marche, dominated from the south by the Monts de Blond and the Monts d?Ambazac. These mini-mountains reach a maximum height of 700 metres, but afford some magnificent views from their rounded, sometimes barren, granite slopes. |
