World-renowned through the centuries for its porcelains, enamels and stained glasses, Limoges is today an up-and-coming city, with a third of its population under 25 years old.

Limoges has a long standing tradition of achievement in sports, most notably with its basketball team, but also in tennis, fencing and even baseball.

Since its foundation in 1264, this charming town has developed harmoniously on both banks of the Lot River, an ideal setting for recreational activities such as water-skiing or canoeing. The town held a Tour stage in 1996.
