Quartier de la Boucherie, Limoges, Limousin, France
It is located in the picturesque neighborhood of the Boucherie. It is one of 52 houses built at the beginning of the 13th century dedicated to the butcher’s trade. Today, it is an ecomuseum that shows the life of these families who slaughtered on the spot, sold and cooked on the ground floor, lived on the floors, while drying hundreds of skins of sheep and pigs in attics. Tools, photos of the street in full activity, writings, movables testify with emotion of the intimacy of a community faithful to its traditions, its faith and its trade.
