Jardin d'Orsay, Public garden in Limoges, France
The Jardin d'Orsay is a public garden in Limoges situated in the western part of the city center, bordered by several squares and public spaces. It features open lawns, mature trees, walking paths, and a musical pavilion that serves as a focal point for gatherings.
The site was once home to a Roman amphitheater, and traces of its ancient foundations can still be found beneath the gardens surface. This archaeological layer connects the current landscape to Limoges' distant past.
The musical pavilion hosts outdoor concerts and cultural events throughout the year, drawing locals and visitors to gather under open skies. This role transforms the space into a true meeting point within the city.
Accessible pathways connect the major areas throughout the garden, making it easy to navigate the space on foot. Visitors of all mobility levels can move freely between the different sections and reach the central pavilion without difficulty.
Decorative porcelain elements in blue adorn the garden, including balusters and vases that reflect Limoges' renowned ceramic tradition. These details showcase how local craftsmanship was integrated into the design of the public space.

Limoges, a city in central France, shows traces of its long history through streets, bridges and buildings. The Saint-Étienne Cathedral rises above the old town with its colored glass windows, while the Bénédictins railway station welcomes travelers with its decorated facade and large hall. The Vienne River flows through the city, crossed by old stone bridges like Pont Saint-Étienne, which offers views of the riverbanks.

Museums display porcelain and medieval enamels, including the Musée National Adrien Dubouché and the Musée de l'Évêché. Parks like Jardin de l'Évêché or Parc Victor Thuillat provide places to walk. The Halles Centrales bring life to the city center with its market, while squares and fountains like Fontaine des Barres serve as meeting points in daily life.
