About the location

Maison du peuple

24 rue Charles-Michels, 87000 Limoges

Haute-Vienne
Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Since 1982, the People’s House illustrates the importance of trade unions in the political and social life of Limoges where the General Confederation of Labour (CGT) was born in 1895\. Inaugurated on June 7, 1936, the day of the Matignon accords, this building is the very example of the architecture of the interwar period, the Art Deco style and the Limougeaud know-how. In March 2002, the building received the label "heritage of the twentieth century" to emphasize its architectural interest, and its interior decorations (stained glass, fresco, mosaics), which recall its trade union function and pay tribute to workers are registered as historic monuments since September 2014\. Remaining in its Art Deco setting since 1936, now protected by cultural services, the Maison du Peuple has retained its function there.
