À propos du lieu

Viaduc du Viaur

Viaduc, 12800 Tauriac-de-Naucelle

Aveyron
Occitanie

First, a railway viaduct built between 1895 and 1902 by engineer Paul Bodin. It is designed according to the technique of balanced arches like the Eiffel Tower or the viaduct of Garabit. This single-arch metal structure allowed the Carmaux/Rodez railway to cross the Viaur gorges. At 460 m long and 116 m high, it is one of the most famous works of art of the French Railways. It has made it possible to break the isolation of Segala, especially at the agricultural level.
