Town planning and green spaces

Each district of Limoges benefits from development aimed at making life more pleasant, and plants play a major role in this process. Major operations have enabled the development of promenade and leisure areas at the entrance to popular districts such as the Aurence valley. Over the course of 30 years, nearly 200 hectares of parks and playgrounds have been developed. Discover the main public gardens.

Situated between a motorway and various factories, the development of the Saint-Lazare urban regeneration zone is designed to preserve the richness of the environment, including the blackberry bushes and shrubbery. A careful inventory displayed the presence of stone martens, salamanders, bats, wagtails, kingfishers, song thrushes and hedgehogs, and above all, a rare site of Hart’s-tongue Fern, a protected fern at departmental level. A varied management project enables the most effective protection and maintenance of natural habitats such as hedgerows, grasslands and groves, while providing a pleasant environment for walkers.
