Discover Limoges

When choosing a hotel in Limoges, your interests can be a good starting point: would you like to explore local history, plan a visit to a seasonal splash pad, or use the forest trails? These places differ in both their themes and practical considerations. When planning, the splash pad’s set hours and seasonal closures on the snowshoe trails are especially important.

Gagnon Park: the history of the former Gagnon

Gagnon Park in Limoges is a historic site. The grounds include an authentic house from the 1880s, now serving as a museum. Visitors can explore the grounds on foot to learn more about the former village of Gagnon and its heritage. The historic park also recalls the regional history of the former Town of Gagnon, which no longer exists. A walk here connects the history of the former settlement with the house as a tangible historic landmark. If you would like to include cultural history in your travel plans, the connection between the former village, the historic site and the museum house is the central theme of a visit to the park. The house gives the story a specific historical reference point in the 1880s, while the memory of Gagnon connects it to the region’s history.

Rodolphe Latreille Park: splash pad during the season

The splash pad at Rodolphe Latreille Park operates seasonally: it is open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. from June 1 to September 30. If you want to include this particular activity in your trip, plan around these dates and check the hours before setting out. The park is accessible by bicycle, on foot or by car. The splash pad’s hours and the ways of getting to the park are two separate practical considerations you can take into account when planning.

Nokomis Park and the trails in Larose Forest

Nokomis Park in Limoges is part of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell and lies within Larose Forest. Several kilometres of walking and cycling trails wind through stands of red pine. The trails offer an option for both walking and cycling, with the red pines shaping their forest surroundings. If you would like to include walks or bike rides through red pines in your Limoges plans, the park offers a specific place to do so. These types of trails have a different focus from a seasonal park activity: here, walking or cycling and the red pine stands take centre stage.

Snowshoe trails: consider access and season

Larose Forest has more than 37 kilometres of snowshoe trails in total. In the Limoges sector, authorized access is via Ferdinand Lane and parking lots P1 and P7. Seasonal closures apply during the snowmelt period. So, in addition to the total distance, plan your route using the designated access points and take closures at this time of year into account. This lets you choose between the walking and cycling trails in Nokomis and the snowshoe trails based on activity, access and season.

The kilometre figures refer to different offerings: several kilometres of walking and cycling trails in Nokomis, but more than 37 kilometres of snowshoe trails in Larose Forest. So first compare the activity you have in mind; the figures do not refer to comparable types of trails.
