Comment
Limoges-Bénédictins station is a French railway station, the main one of the two stations in the commune of Limoges, in the Haute-Vienne department of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.The main hub of the Limousin region, with 1.6 million annual passengers, it is located at the heart of an eight-branch rail hub, at the crossroads of four lines linking it to Paris via Châteauroux and Orléans, Toulouse via Brive and Montauban, Poitiers via Le Dorat, Angoulême and Périgueux. It is also a regional bus station.
Opened in 1856 by the Compagnie du chemin de fer de Paris à Orléans, it is now a station of the Société nationale des chemins de fer français (SNCF), served by trains of the Intercités, TER Centre-Val de Loire and TER Nouvelle-Aquitaine networks.
An eclectic masterpiece of regionalist architecture and a symbol of the city, the aesthetics of the current Limoges-Bénédictins station building, inaugurated in 1929, borrow as much from late Art Nouveau as from Art Deco and neoclassicism, and as such has been listed as a historic monument since January 15, 1975.
