Limousin
Limousin is a former province of France and now a region of France, around the city of Limoges.
The limousine car is named after the region because the inhabitants wore a hood with a profile perceived to be similar to that of the car.
Limousin is also a breed of beef cattle bred in the Limousin region and recognisable by their attractive chestnut red colouring.
Culture
The Limousin language, which used to be spoken in the region, was possibly a dialect of Occitan.
