Very beautiful village. Remarkable church and medieval bridge.

Overcrowded tourist village

This old watchtower was integrated into the city's fortifications. Also called the "white tower", it is the last vestige of the enclosure that surrounded Aubusson. It was used to monitor movements in the city. On the facade of the tower, three dials facing the city indicate the time. It is easily recognizable with its pepperpot roof covered in chestnut shingles. It is decorated with a bell decorated with three small bas-reliefs: a mitred bishop.

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 Originally made of wood, it was essential for commercial exchanges on the road from Limoges to Clermont-Ferrand.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

The Etang des Portes is an ideal spot for a break. We enjoy the calm of the place. The body of water is dedicated to fishing. It is the starting point for mountain bike tours and walks.

The history of the castle dates back at least to 1195, when it was owned by the Durat family. It is classified as a historic monument. But it was the subject of reconstruction between the 16th and 19th centuries.

The imposing Sainte-Valérie abbey church displays Romanesque art in its most beautiful light. Inside we find the reliquary bust of Sainte-Valérie.

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