Day 15 of your relaxed road trip in France is your departure day. If you have a flight to catch, you’ll drop off your rental car well in advance before your departure. Choose a late flight to enjoy a stress-free last day in Limoges.
On your last day in France, take time to indulge in shopping at Limoges’s popular marketplace, Les Galeries Lafayette. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip.
If you're up for some more sightseeing, begin at Parc Victor Thuillat. This curiosity-inducing park is a popular place to see in the city.
Unwind and look back at the past 15 days of your relaxed road trip over a bite to eat. This is your chance to enjoy one last traditional meal in Limoges or just grab something light to keep you going.
Treat yourself to a delicious dinner at Le Sikaru Beer and Bar, an excellent option for tonight's dining. Looking for something different? ESCROCS offers a tantalizing alternative with its diverse menu. And don’t miss Le Golf Saint Lazare.
Give yourself enough time to wave goodbye to Limoges and begin your journey home. The unforgettable experiences you’ve collected along your 15-day relaxed road trip in France is a story you will tell for the rest of your life.
