The Limousin is actually made up of three départements: Creuse (where Aubusson is), Corrèze, and Haute-Vienne (where Limoges is). So the Creuse is part of the Limousin, which used to be an separate administrative region but is now just a sub-region of the Nouvelle Aquitaine region (Bordeaux, etc.). It all gets pretty complex. Yes, you get a gold star. The Limousin has twice as many people as Corsica.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-14218585846107706102021-10-02T03:22:30.626+02:002021-10-02T03:22:30.626+02:00Hah.

Hadn't seen that many pictures of Aubusson, and it looks like a place well worth visiting.<br />I do know that the only departement less populated than the Limouzine is Corsica, so do I get a gold star?Emmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17365143273404503659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-52905536563014985422021-10-01T18:00:57.103+02:002021-10-01T18:00:57.103+02:00 I am a peasant in the middle of nowhere, and I kn... I am a peasant in the middle of nowhere, and I know Aubusson. ;-) They make some nice tapisseries! I tried to figure it out by the Hotel de France website, but that was no help at all.

But I doubt that peasants in the middle of nowhere have heard of it.<br />At some point, I thought it could be Saint-Nectaire, because of its cheese. But the town is too big. Then I thought of Laguiole, because of its renowned knives, but again, the town was too big. Then I found it!<br />chmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765675930520613520noreply@blogger.com
