Limoges: The Basketball Capital of France

Limoges is famed for its b-ball. Who knew that the French porcelain capital had such bragging rights? Historically, the Limoges teams have ranked right up there with the world's best. Back in the day, our neighbor played basketball here in Limoges and toured in the US. Tonight we went to see my Malian friend, Djene, play some serious basket with Limoges ABC, the professional women's team. They tore it up and the fans went wild, including the band of cute guys pounding away on their drums. The best part for me was watching their cool moves (and the American game I grew up with) with a French soundtrack.
