There is a lovely view of the Taurion Valley from this stone bridge. We can see a mill which contributes to the charm of the place.

It is an ancient abbey founded in the 12th century by the Cistercian congregation. It was destroyed during the wars then rebuilt, and sold as national property during the Revolution. Today, the abbey has been rehabilitated as a guesthouse. On the land, a chapel and the ruins of a church still remain.

Royère is located on the Millevaches plateau, between Lake Vassivière and Lake Lavaud Gelade. The town is pleasant and has shops and accommodation.

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 Originally made of wood, it was essential for commercial exchanges on the road from Limoges to Clermont-Ferrand.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