Limoges (/lɪˈmoʊʒ/;French pronunciation: [li.mɔʒ];Occitan: Lemòtges or Limòtges) is a city and commune, the capital of the Haute-Vienne department and the administrative capital of the Limousin région in west-central France.
Limoges is known for its medieval and Renaissance enamels (Limoges enamels) on copper, for its 19th-century porcelain (Limoges porcelain) and for its oak barrels which are used for Cognac production.
Scarce remains of pre-urban settlements have been found in the area of Limoges. The capital of the Gaulish people of the Lemovices, who lived in the area, was probably some kilometres south-east of Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat.
The city proper was founded as Augustoritum by the Romans, around 10 BC: "rito-" is Gaulish for "ford". The foundation was part of the reorganization of the province by the emperor Augustus, hence the new name. The Roman city included an amphitheatre measuring 136 x 115 metres, a theatre, a forum, baths and several sanctuaries. According to tradition, a temple consecrated to Venus, Diana, Minerva and Jupiter was located near the modern cathedral. The city was on the typical Roman square plan, with two main streets crossing in the centre. It had a Senate and a currency of its own, a sign of its importance in the imperial age. Later, like many towns and cities in Gaul, it was renamed after the tribe (here the Lemovices) whose chief town it was; "Lemovices" changed into "Limoges", and "Lemovicinus" for the area around changed into "Limousin".

Great Places on the Sunny Coast with Amanda Limoges Episode 1: Noosa Heads. SONG IS ANIMAL BY MIIKE SNOW.
She only complains there's to much sun
Usually when all my drugs are gone
Some might say they would throw her away
Oh but I hold her close
So much more than before
She's my new best friend
She's my porno queen
She's my brand new leaf
Brought home something new
For me and you to abuse
To centre ourselves around
To blow our minds apart again
Somedays are just right
Somedays I just fight
Yesterday's looming like a shadow
