Facts and practical information

The viaduct of the Recoumène is a railway bridge built from 1921 to 1925 for the railway line called "la transcévenole" which was supposed to connect Le Puy to Aubenas. As this line was not completed, the viaduct was never put into service and never saw a train pass.

The viaduct of Recoumène is located in the Haute-Loire, near Monastier-sur-Gazeille, a tourist center made famous by Robert-Louis Stevenson. It crosses the Gazeille, a small tributary of the Loire descending from the Mézenc mountain, and the departmental road 535 which connects Le Puy to Privas. According to the Napoleonic cadastre, the Gazeille was formerly called La Ricomène. It is this name which was used at the time, but in a slightly modified form, for the designation of this viaduct.
