Quartier de la Boucherie, Medieval neighborhood in central Limoges, France
The district contains narrow streets lined with preserved half-timbered houses, connecting Place de la Motte to rue Vigne-de-Fer over 130 meters.
The neighborhood received its name from the butcher's guild that operated there since medieval times, maintaining their presence even after the French Revolution abolished corporations.
Saint-Aurélien Chapel stands in the quarter with its chestnut-shingled steeple, medieval architecture, and baroque decorations housing significant religious artifacts.
The district offers numerous dining options, artisan shops, and galleries, with the traditional butcher's house at number 36 open for summer visits.
Every third Friday of October, the Frairie des Petits Ventres festival fills the streets with local specialties including girot and chestnut pudding.
