Andrezieux-Boutheon

The Loire River defines the setting of Andrézieux-Bouthéon — its broad alluvial plain has made the north-western edge of the Saint-Étienne urban area a corridor for railways, roads, industry and farmland. The town is linked to the Saint-Étienne–Andrézieux railway, opened in 1827 to carry coal to the Loire and widely regarded as continental Europe’s first railway. Château de Bouthéon, a former fortified residence remodelled during the Renaissance, connects the town with its older past. Saint-Étienne–Bouthéon Airport adds to its regional transport role.
