A centre for polyphonic music of the Middle Ages, the cultural influence of Limoges at that time extended over a large part of Europe… Today this prestigious heritage is evident in the creativity of the musical ensembles such as the Ensemble baroque de Limoges or in every exchange that takes place in the Festival international des Francophonies (International festival of French-speakers). Today the city has a cultural network whose appeal extends well beyond the Limousin region...
