Limousine services go way way back, maybe even further than this picture, since you can imagine this type of limo transport to have existed for any person who was revered in any society. Limousines originated in France. That isn't a big surprise concerning the name 'limousine'. It is said that the first 'limousine' as a sort of hooded overcoat, developed by shepherds in France to protect them from the rain. later on this idea as converted into a coach with a hood on it to protect the passengers from the rain. It is also said that the coach maker making such coaches lived in a place called 'Limousin' in France, hence the name. Leaving the details aside it can be safely said that as far as we can trace it now, the origins lie in France...
