France: Limoges
Limoges dates back to the whopping 10 BC when it was founded by Romans as Augustorium. It quickly grew into a major city famous for the enamels produced here and exported around the world. From the mid 18th century, Limoges became known as the porcelain capital of the world, again exporting its production globally. It’s a classic French city with cobblestone streets, great stone house architecture, grand gothic cathedral (Cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Limoges), several old churches, remains of roman structures, and art museums.
