The Cour du Temple is one of Limoges’ hidden gems, quietly tucked behind the buildings that line Rue du Temple and Rue du Consulat. It’s a favorite spot among locals and visitors alike, perfect for taking a break and enjoying a drink on one of the charming café terraces that surround the courtyard. Dating back to the 17th century, the space is enclosed by elegant townhouses that were built for wealthy Limoges families of the time. With its beautifully preserved timber framing and open Italian-style galleries, the Cour du Temple has a timeless, almost cinematic atmosphere—a peaceful little retreat that feels like stepping into another era right in the heart of the old town.
