Limoges Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Limoges-Bellegarde airport is about ten kilometres from the centre and has no accommodation nearby: those staying in Limoges get around by taxi or the TCL shuttle, which links the Gare SNCF Bénédictins to the terminal in 30 minutes. Those with a very early flight or a late-night return find it convenient to stay near the station, the shuttle's starting point. Those who want to enjoy the city — the cathedral, the Boucherie quarter, the porcelain museums — prefer the old town or the pedestrian hypercentre, a few minutes' walk from the sights but further from the direct link to the airport.
