Pavillon du Verdurier de Limoges

The Pavillon du Verdurier features an octagonal structure made of reinforced concrete with ornate mosaics and stoneware decorations by Gentil & Bourdet.

Built in 1919 by architect Roger Gonthier, the building initially stored frozen meat from Argentina to address post-World War I food shortages.

The structure transformed from a refrigerated storage facility to a bus station in 1942, and now functions as an exhibition space since 1978.

Located at 15 rue du College near Lycée Gay-Lussac, the pavilion can be reached via trolleybus lines 4 at Saint-Pierre stop or line 2 at Place Wilson.

The interior decorations were created by designer Pierre Parot in collaboration with glassmaker Francis Chigot, contrary to previous attributions to Léonard Chigot.
