Parcours "Oreilles en balade" au Viaduc du Viaur
Armed with your smartphone, let yourself be transported through the history of this majestic structure, as seen through the eyes of its inhabitants!
This railway viaduct, inaugurated in 1902, is synonymous with a revolution in the Ségala region. It linked the departments of Aveyron and Tarn (between Tauriac-de-Naucelle (12) and Tanus (81)). The arrival of the train led to the development of trade and, in particular, the arrival of lime, which gave a major boost to Segali agriculture: wheat and corn replaced rye.
This technical feat (listed as a historic monument), designed by Paul Bodin, can be admired from three different vantage points, each equipped with QRcodes to be flashed, giving you access to some fascinating local anecdotes!
