This illustration by Lotza highlights the majestic Limoges train station, also known as the Gare des Bénédictins, an architectural gem and a must-see landmark of the city. Known for its unique Art Deco style and impressive frescoed dome, this station is much more than just a place of passage: it embodies the history and soul of Limoges.

Limoges, a city with a rich Gallo-Roman past, has earned a worldwide reputation for its exceptional expertise in fine porcelain production since the 18th century. This artisanal heritage has profoundly influenced the local identity and economy of the region, making the city a leading cultural and artistic center.

The Gare des Bénédictins, built in the early 20th century under the direction of architect Roger Gonthier, is distinguished by its large, elegant tower, distinctive pointed arches, and colorful stained-glass windows that bathe the interior in warm light. Designed to replace an old station that had become inadequate, it quickly established itself as a work of art in its own right, admired by travelers and architecture enthusiasts alike.

Today, this station is recognized as one of the most beautiful in France, offering a unique atmosphere where past and present blend harmoniously. Through this poster, Lotza pays a vibrant tribute to Limoges, celebrating its historical heritage, remarkable architecture, and deep cultural identity.
