Since 2015, the Bon Sens Paysan collective (an associative design office made up of citizens from various backgrounds with or without ties to the world of railways and architecture) has been spearheading the Limousin Tram Train project. More generally, this project is part of the Metropolitan Regional Express Services (SERM), also known colloquially as “metropolitan RER”.

To this end, the association has been working for several years on a project to explore the possibility of adapting the numerous railroad lines that irrigate Limoges and its catchment area, in order to create a structuring network of five train lines serving the main hubs of the conurbation and linking them more effectively to the surrounding towns and villages. The project aims to find solutions for decarbonizing mobility in rural and peri-rural areas, a current blind spot in public policy.

To take this prospecting work a step further, the BSP collective is launching its first national architecture and urban planning competition for three stations on the Limoges rail hub, as part of the Périgord-Limousin RER project.

Entries: from 15/10 to 17/11/2025
