Limoges is a city in southwest-central France. It’s known for its decorated porcelain, much of which is on display at the Musée National Adrien Dubouché. In the historic center, medieval timber-frame houses line Rue de la Boucherie. Set in the former Episcopal Palace, the Musée des Beaux-Arts showcases the history of the city's medieval enamel. The Gothic Cathédrale St-Étienne de Limoges took 6 centuries to complete.
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. Some are even exported to wineries in California.
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 either near Villejoubert, some kilometres south-east of Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat, or St Gence, just west of Limoges.
In the 19th century Limoges saw strong construction activity, which included the destruction and rebuilding of much of the city centre. The unsafe conditions of the poorer population is highlighted by the outbreak of several riots, including that of July–November 1830; April 1848. In early 1905 strikes began in another local industry, shoe factories soon followed in the porcelain factories. Barricades were built, the army intervened. There would be two casualties: a horse and a young porcelain worker, Camille Vardelle.

Places to see in ( Limoges - France ) Oradour sur Glane
Places to see in ( Limoges - France ) Oradour sur Glane
On 10 June 1944, the village of Oradour-sur-Glane in Haute-Vienne in Nazi-occupied France was destroyed, when 642 of its inhabitants, including women and children, were massacred by a German Waffen-SS company. A new village was built nearby after the war, but French president Charles de Gaulle ordered the original maintained as a permanent memorial and museum.
In February 1944, the 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich was stationed in the Southern French town of Valence-d'Agen, north of Toulouse, waiting to be resupplied with new equipment and fresh troops. Following the D-Day invasion of Normandy in June 1944, the division was ordered north to help stop the Allied advance. One of its units was the 4th SS Panzer Grenadier Regiment (Der Führer). Its staff included regimental commander SS-Standartenführer Sylvester Stadler, SS-Sturmbannführer Adolf Diekmann commanding the 1st Battalion and SS-Sturmbannführer Otto Weidinger, Stadler's designated successor who was with the regiment for familiarisation. Command passed to Weidinger on 14 June.
Early on the morning of 10 June 1944, Diekmann informed Weidinger that he had been approached by two members of the Milice, a collaborator paramilitary force of the Vichy Regime. They claimed that a Waffen-SS officer was being held prisoner by the Resistance in Oradour-sur-Vayres, a nearby village. The captured officer was claimed to be SS-Sturmbannführer Helmut Kämpfe, commander of the 2nd SS Panzer Reconnaissance Battalion (also part of Das Reich division). He may have been captured by the Maquis du Limousin the day before. Stadler ordered Diekmann to have the mayor choose thirty people to be hostages in exchange for Kämpfe.
On 10 June, Diekmann's battalion sealed off Oradour-sur-Glane and ordered everyone within to assemble in the village square to have their identity papers examined. This included six non-residents who happened to be bicycling through the town when the SS unit arrived. The women and children were locked in the church, and the village was looted. The men were led to six barns and sheds, where machine guns were already in place.
According to a survivor's account, the SS men then began shooting, aiming for their legs. When victims were unable to move, the SS men covered them with fuel and set the barns on fire. Only six men managed to escape. One of them was later seen walking down a road and was shot dead. In all, 190 Frenchmen died.
The SS men next proceeded to the church and placed an incendiary device beside it. When it was ignited, women and children tried to escape through the doors and windows, only to be met with machine-gun fire. 247 women and 205 children died in the brutal attack. The only survivor was 47-year-old Marguerite Rouffanche. She escaped through a rear sacristy window, followed by a young woman and child.[3] All three were shot, two of them fatally. Rouffanche crawled to some pea bushes and remained hidden overnight until she was found and rescued the next morning. About twenty villagers had fled Oradour-sur-Glane as soon as the SS unit had appeared. That night, the village was partially razed.

Places to see in ( Avignon - France ) Rue de la Republique
Places to see in ( Avignon - France ) Rue de la Republique
The Republic Street is the largest of the three main streets of Avignon breakthrough intramural during the xix th century , the other two being the Thiers Street and the Boulevard Raspail. She had been foreshadowed by a project of Pierre II Mignard in the 1680s, which proposed the drilling of a straight road to Place de l'Horloge at the Porte Saint-Michel. But in the xix th century , the privileged direct access was one of the new railway station, commissioned to Paris on June 24 , 1853.
The realization of this new artery was done in three successive phases between 1856 and 1867 . This was the work of the municipality presided over by Paul Pamard ( 1853 - 1865 ). The first section was started in 1856, opposite the new station to the current rue Joseph-Vernet , then called rue de la Calade. This section was raised and leveled to put it out of reach of the floods of the Durance and the Rhone . The works, which had required the opening of a breach in the ramparts of the city were completed in 1857.
The second building site was opened between rue Joseph-Vernet and the Lycée chapel. In 1859 , the expropriations were completed and the pavement was completed in 1863. The execution of the third section was voted in city council on September 30 , 1863. Going from the High School chapel to the Clock Square, it was the most important. It was completed in 1867.
This artery, which owed its name to an inn with the sign of Saint-Marc, connected the Place de l'Horloge, seat of the Grand Bouquerie (butcher shop) at the house of Queen Jeanne, today Saint-Martial Temple. At this place, near Saint-Martial, it had been renamed rue de la Servellerie since 1363 at least. Ovens there had been started by an inn in the second half of the xiv th century . They were thought to have become a place of debauchery a century later. But they continued to be offered since during the xvi th century , hotel and baths placed themselves under the banner of lying Madeleine.
Drilled on a wider plane than the rest of the project, with vast sidewalks planted with plane trees, this section was the first completed. Its market street of Calade led the demolition of modern buildings of the convent of Saint-Martial, which were raised and re bent at right angles to track new alignments. Called initially rue Bonaparte, this part took the name of Cours after the drilling of the other narrower sections. At the fall of the Second Empire , it was renamed Cours de la République , then, to distinguish it from the street of the Republic that follows, Cours Petrarque . This denomination remained its until the aftermath of the First World War where it took the current one.

Walking Around Les Halles
A quarter-hour stroll around the area of the Forum and Les Halles in Paris, France. The actual Forum is being rebuilt and will be a construction zone for the next few years, but I visit the surrounding neighborhood, including the Place Beaubourg in front of the Pompidou Center, the various streets in the area, and so on. A few street performers are included, as well as the Quartier de l'Horloge. A nice visit to a very busy area—even on a weekday, when this was filmed.
Closed captions provide narration if you want it.

[한국어 정보]
시 협의회 건물 한 층에서 한글학교 수업이 열린다. 벌써 7년째이고 학생수도 50여명이나 된단다. 이 분이 이번 여행 코디이자 한글 학교 교장 선생님 이시다. 노트 정리가 깔끔하다. 수업에 임하는 자세도 어찌나 진지하던지 한국어를 배우는 이유도 다양하다. “한국은 정보통신의 천국이기에 저는 한국어를 배워서 한국과 만나고 싶습니다.” 한국을 사랑하는 이들 앞에서 감사와 책임감이 몰려 온다. 민간 외교의 또 다른 현장이 있다. 태권도다. 땀방울과 기합, 진지함이 보는 이를 압도한다. 허광선 관장은 20 년 전 이곳에 처음 태권도를 선보였다. “제가 태권도를 하는 이유는 사부님을 향한 예절이나 규율 같은 것들이 마음에 들었습니다. 그래서 끈기 있게 (태권도를) 하고 있습니다.” 이들에게 태권도는 단순한 스포츠가 아니었다. 이들이 태권도를 통해 얻고자 하는 것은 우리가 너무나 쉽게 포기하고 마는 상대방에 대한 예의와 존중, 그리고 자신의 인내를 강화하는 진정한 무예의 정신이었던 것이다. 젊은 도시 클레르몽페랑은 언제나 살아 있다. 오늘은 일 년에 한 번 열리는 홍보의 날이다. 각 민족마다 모두 나와 장을 펼친다. 각각의 문화를 존중하고 장려하는 정책인 것이다. 한글학교도 올 해 처음으로 이곳에 참가했다. 붓글씨로 쓴 한글 이름을 받아 들고 무척이나 좋아한다. 학생들이 어색하지만 춤을 춘다. 클레르몽페랑의 미래가 밝다. “우리 시가 매우 자랑스럽습니다. 2020~2028년 사이에 유럽 문화의 수도가 되려고 노력하고 있습니다.”
