Tram viaduct of Rancon

During the first half of the 20th century, a tram line joined Limoges to Saint-Sulpice les Feuilles. To make this junction possible several bridges were built. The viaduct you can see near Rancon is one of them. It is a 138 meters long and 23 meters high viaduct with eleven arches. The tram stopped in 1949 and the viaduct is not used anymore. Nowadays, it still spans the Gartempe River but its rails and parapets have disappeared. You can see it from the road that leads to le Moulin de Roche.
