Limousin (province)
Limousin () is a former province of the Kingdom of France. It existed from 1589 until 1790, when the National Constituent Assembly adopted a more uniform division into departments (''départements'') and districts (''arrondissements''). It is located in the foothills of the western edge of the Massif Central and surrounds the city of Limoges ().

History The history of Limousin reaches back to Celtic and Roman times (50 BC to 550 AD).

During the 10th century, Limousin was divided into many '' seigneuries''. The most important of t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
