Limoges is a city and commune, the capital of the Haute-Vienne department and was the administrative capital of the former Limousin region 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 and Bordeaux production.

The unsafe conditions of the poorer population is highlighted by the outbreak of several riots, including that of July–November 1830; April 1848.

Un voyage en bleu et rose
Une petite idée du bonheur...
440 kms et 500 photos en 6 jours de voyage en vélo.
4 jours au coeur de la Camargue profonde et perdue.
2 jours de promenade à Marseille la méconnue, la superbe.
2 nuits sur des plages imprévues de la belle bleue.
C'est mon plus beau et plus long voyage vélocipédique, et mon plus long montage, ou diaporama. Ce n'est plus vraiment un clip, presque un reportage photographique. Mise en oeuvre lourde en Mo et compliquée quant au choix de la musique. Merci à Céline et Macéo :)
Bon voyage !
