Haute-Vienne, Administrative department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France.
The territory spans 5,520 square kilometers across central France, featuring numerous rivers, forests, and agricultural lands between Limoges and Rochechouart.
The department formed on March 4, 1790, during the French Revolution's administrative reorganization, incorporating sections of the former province of Limousin.
The Limoges porcelain manufacturing tradition continues through specialized workshops, museums, and educational programs that preserve craftsmanship techniques.
The department contains three main arrondissements - Bellac, Limoges, and Rochechouart - connected by a network of regional roads and rail services.
The village of Oradour-sur-Glane remains untouched since June 1944, standing as a memorial site with original streets and burnt structures.
