'''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.⏎
