He became into a hermit in the Limousin forests, where he was followed by many disciples. He prayed for the wife of the King of the Franks giving birth to a male child, and it happened. As a reward, he received a piece of land in Nobiliacum (Noblat), where he founded an abbey. Around it, a village was established, which received the name of Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat.

Pont Saint Martial across the Vienne River in Limoges, Haute-Vienne (France)

Avec sa gare toujours bien limogesque

Ses trolley-bus bien limogineux

Ses maisons limogestes

Ses bars si joliment limogeouillés

Ses librairies bien limogeardes

Ses cinémas limogiques

Son théâtre bien limogéum

Ses limougeauds tranquillement limoginés.

Mes amis, là-dessus tout limogifs

De me revoir si limogieux

...

Tellement

Tellement limogiaque

De revenir chez soi.

Charles Caunant
