Gare d'Aubazine
The small town of Gare d'Aubazine , located in the municipality of Saint-Hilaire-Peyroux , is an integral part of the history of Aubazines and Dampniat, far more than that of Saint-Hilaire, as this station was first to be called Gare de Dampniat . But this place was completely unknown and also difficult to spell, Saint-Hilaire was too far away. Aubazine, this name combines eight centuries of history with a great tourist reputation: a remarkable church, two monasteries and canals hanging over wild gorges as well as striking rock formations and megalithic structures. From 1932 the local railroad was replaced by a bus, but the place continued to develop positively.
coat of arms
