Terrade Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This bridge is emblematic of Aubusson. Originally made of wood, it was essential for commercial exchanges on the road from Limoges to Clermont-Ferrand. It was rebuilt with stones from the castle (itself dismantled on the orders of Rochelieu). There remains a castle (from the 15th century) on the left bank, which formerly housed the archers in charge of the defense of the building.
