Eiffel Tower on a Map of France Porcelain Limoges Box

The Eiffel Tower rises from a map of France on this porcelain piece, putting Paris right where it belongs, at the heart of the country. It is a hand-painted Limoges box, made in Limoges, France, a few hours south of the tower itself.

Charting a Course to Paris

Maps and landmarks together make a natural pairing for anyone who loves to travel. The outline of France gives the tower a sense of place, and both are painted by hand in the town that has made porcelain since the 1700s.

Where It Belongs

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Pairs with Arc de Triomphe, French flag and Paris street pieces
• Fits a France travel, map or Paris landmark collection

Souvenir of the Grand Tour

It makes a fine memento after a tour of France, a study-abroad year in Lyon or Paris, or a honeymoon that wandered from Normandy to Provence. It also suits a French teacher, a geography buff, or someone with family roots in France. Set it on a desk beside a globe, on a bookshelf of travel guides, or in a curio cabinet with souvenirs from each region visited.
