Limoges is a city and commune, the capital of the Haute-Vienne department in west-central France.  It is known for its medieval porcelain enamels (Limoges enamels) on copper, and for its oak barrels which are used for Cognac production.

In the center of Limoges is the seventeenth century Temple Courtyard (Cour du Temple). It is a paved courtyard with fine half-timbered buildings and columned arcades (succession of arches) and is often characterized as one of the most enchanting places in Limoges.
