Éditions Mon Limousin

Éditions Mon Limousin is a French publishing house founded in October 2018 and based in Limoges. It emerged in the wake of the closure of Éditions Culture et Patrimoine in 2017 and the administrative merger of the Limousin region with Poitou-Charentes and Aquitaine, which threatened the visibility of local identity. The house was inaugurated in Saint-Junien with the release of its first book, Saint-Junien, l'art du cuir, dedicated to the history and leather craftsmanship of the town. The publisher focuses on authors from the Limousin region, including established writers such as Louis-Olivier Vitté, Régine Rossi-Lagorce, and Jean-Michel Valade, while also promoting young talents. Its catalogue spans local history, heritage, biography, art, gastronomy, and fiction, organized into collections such as 'Savoirs limousins', 'Abécédaires du Limousin', 'Noir Limousin', 'Littératures limousines', and 'Idées libres'. In autumn 2019, the publisher initiated literary walks in Limoges, allowing readers to meet authors and discover their inspirations. Notable publications include the first Dictionnaire des rues de Limoges by Lucas Destrem, which led to a weekly radio chronicle on France Bleu Limousin, and works commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Liberation of France in 2025. The company remains a small, independent, private enterprise dedicated to regional publishing.

Éditions Mon Limousin was founded in October 2018 in Limoges, France. Its creation followed the closure of Éditions Culture et Patrimoine in 2017, which left a gap in local heritage publishing, and the administrative merger of the Limousin region with Poitou-Charentes and Aquitaine in 2016, which raised concerns about the erosion of regional identity. The new publishing house was inaugurated in Saint-Junien in the presence of mayor Pierre Allard, coinciding with the release of its first book, Saint-Junien, l'art du cuir, which explores the history of the glove-making town, its leather craftsmanship, and contemporary actors. In autumn 2019, the publisher launched a series of literary walks in Limoges, enabling readers to meet authors and discover their inspirations in the city streets. The catalogue primarily features authors from the Limousin region, including recognized names such as Louis-Olivier Vitté, Régine Rossi-Lagorce, and Jean-Michel Valade, while also promoting young authors. A notable example is geographer Lucas Destrem, commissioned to write the first Dictionnaire des rues de Limoges; its success led to a weekly radio chronicle on France Bleu Limousin. At the end of 2020, the publisher inaugurated a new collection, 'Idées libres', with the essay Pangolin mon amour by Jean-Michel Valade. In 2025, two works were published for the 80th anniversary of the Liberation of France: Rescapés des camps nazis by Jean-Michel Valade and Brive-la-Résistante by François David, the latter receiving the state's Mission Libération label. The publishing house continues to operate as an independent, private entity focused on regional publishing.
