Well, driving is fairly easy in France. Right side drive. You must yield at roundabouts, cars already in the roundabout have right of way. A LOT of roundabouts.
Pavement in France is about the best in Europe. Rarely a pothole, or even a seam. Very well maintained roads. Very well marked as well, lots of destination signs.
Why Limoges? A fairly dull area, compared to the rest of France. It straddles the Dordogne and the Loire, those are far more interesting areas. If you are doing a discount airline, consider arriving in Tours or Toulouse. I mean, the Limousin is pretty, as is most of France, but not a lot of action. Limoges is a large city, driving there will be a bit more taxing than the countryside.
Limoges does have some pottery factories, and nearby Aubusson has tapestry artisans, but IMO you would do a lot better in the Loire, or the Dordogne. Dordogne can knock your socks off, actually!
