Limousin Region

Limousin is a rural region. It is the second least populated region known for its prized beef and oak orchards. The oak is used in wine fermentation and is prized for its distinct character and flavors. Remy Martin has had exclusive rights to the oak orchards for about a hundred years.

Most of the gloves made in France are made in the town of Saint-Junien. The town is located in the countryside of Limousin. It is named after a hermit who performed cures from the waters of a spring. The town is rich in architecture, especially the Monastery of Saint Junien, a Romanesque structure built in the 11th century.

In 1771, white clay was discovered at Saint Yrieix-la-Perche. The ceramics industry which produces what is known as Limoges porcelain was developed. Limoges porcelain is a generic term used to denote porcelain that is produced in the town of Limoges. The ceramics are not produced at one factory but throughout the city.
