Limoges is part of these cities with their Zenith. Between Ester and Uzurat, the room designed by architect Bernard Tschumi accommodates up to 6 047 people and more than 4 500 seated. Its wooden structure covered with a semi-transparent envelope leaves its eyes to the surrounding woods. It's a bubble, a cocoon but open on the outside. The opening of this expanded music room in March 2007 was inaugurated by a show by Michel Polnareff, who chose Limoges for his great return on French soil before even playing his first date in Paris-Bercy. Since then, the hall has seen the performance of the public artists, the song but also the comedy scene, not forgetting musicals and shows for children.
