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 Originally made of wood, it was essential for commercial exchanges on the road from Limoges to Clermont-Ferrand.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.

Be careful if you have to go visit the museum, call before, they can close to the public without warning on the site.

The Pont de la Terrade in Aubusson was until the 18th century, the only crossing point of the Creuse on the main road leading to Limoges. This passage was gradually abandoned in favor of the later, larger Récollets bridge. Thus the Terrade bridge remains today in a remarkable state of conservation. It has undergone very few modifications related to the development of modern transport. Originally made of wood, it is deployed across the river from a stone pile. Natural rot, bad weather and the importance of the Creuse wines, the bridge became dangerous due to its dilapidated state despite various repairs from the middle of the 16th century. The need for reconstruction is felt. It was replaced by a stone bridge built between 1638 and 1641 with materials from the ruins of the old medieval castle of the first Viscounts of Aubusson, the Chapter. This Huguenot defensive stronghold was destroyed on the orders of Richelieu in 1632. The Pont de la Terrade, property of the town, was listed in the inventory of historical monuments on June 15, 1926. Carefully restored in 2009, this building preserved charm illustrates the typicality of the architecture of Aubusson.

This medieval bridge, known as the 'Soubre Bridge' and made up of four arches, those at the ends in a semi-circular arch, the other two in a pointed arch, bears the name of a tapestry manufacturer whose workshops were located nearby. In the 16th century, Felletin was a prosperous town which saw the development of a significant number of industries: flour milling, tanning, paper milling, dyeing, etc. The river provided the energy necessary for the operation of the numerous mills. Next to the bridge, we notice the toll terminal symbolizing the duty that had to be paid to bring certain goods and foodstuffs into the city. Listed as a Historic Monument in 1926.
