Places to see in ( Limoges - France ) Gare de Limoges
Limoges-Bénédictins is the main railway station of Limoges. It is situated on the Orléans–Montauban railway. It was named Bénédictins due to the presence of a Benedictine monastery closed during the French Revolution.
The CF du PO opened the first railway line in the city in the 1850s. The first station, built of wood, opened on 16 June 1856. The first stone-built station opened in 1860. On 21 November 1918, the Limoges city council and CF du PO signed an agreement regarding the construction of a new station. Work lasted from 1924 and 1929. The station was inaugurated on 2 July 1929.
The Germans also used an underground roadway as a passive defense shelter, located under the tracks, which previously linked the Ambazac road to Locarno Avenue, now partly walled. The Wehrmacht Reserved sign (nur für Wehrmacht) is always present
On the night of 23-24 June 1944, thanks to information from the Resistance, the Allies bombarded the Puy-Imbert marshalling yard in Limoges, preventing the movement of trains for more than a week. The next day, the Germans requisitioned the labor available to clear and clear ... under a sun of lead.
Bénédictins station was designed by architect Roger Gonthier. A particularity of the station is that it was built over the ten railway lines as opposed to next to them. A large 90 by 78 metre platform was built over the line to support the station building. The building is made of a concrete bone structure, filled in with limestone. The dome which covers the passenger concourse is made of a metallic framework, covered in copper.
On the Southwest corner is a 60 metre tall clock tower composed of twelve levels. It is mounted by a dome itself mounted by a five metre tall vase. Below these are four four metre wide clocks. The first floors are occupied by offices. The view from the top floors is stunning over the city of Limoges, part of the agglomeration and the Vienne valley. You can see most of the most important monuments of the city: the town hall, the churches of Saint-Michel and Saint-Pierre, the Gay-Lussac high school, the city of Coutures, the Cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Limoges, the Bastide, The technopole or the castle of the Bastide.

Retour en images sur Spot 2011
Du mercredi 21 au dimanche 25 septembre 2011, l'événement Spot invitait à croiser les regards des 16-30 ans, sans murs, sans portes, directement dans l'espace public, dans les rues, sous les Nefs, le long du tram... pour faciliter les rencontres et laisser leurs talents s'exprimer en direct pour nous étonner.
Expositions, installations plastiques, parcours sonore, danse, théâtre, concerts... Il y avait à voir et à entendre, à sentir et à ressentir, à rêver et à s'informer, à débattre et à rire. En un mot, à découvrir.
Le projet des Franciscaines : l'imaginaire à l'oeuvre
L'imaginaire à l’œuvre tient lieu de programme d'action pour les Franciscaines, lieu culturel d'un nouveau genre dont les travaux s'achèveront en 2020. Dans cet ancien lieu de culte, reconfiguré à la mesure d'un projet culturel, chacun sera invité à laisser son imaginaire circuler pour vivre une expérience inédite, ouverte à tous les possibles. Méditer, se recueillir, se recentrer sur soi : à ces gestes répétés depuis plus d'un siècle par les religieuses qui occupèrent le site avant de le céder à la ville en 2012, le lieu associe désormais : s'informer, se parler, s'écouter, se cultiver, découvrir, s'enrichir, traîner, se distraire, à travers des parcours ajustés à chaque profil de visiteurs.
