Limoges
Limoges is a city on the Vienne river in west-central France and the historic capital of the Limousin. Founded by the Romans as Augustoritum, it took its name from the Gallic Lemovices. In the Middle Ages it was famed for its enamel work and as a stage on the pilgrimage road to Compostela, and from the 18th century it became the leading centre of French porcelain.
