Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne

Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne straddles the Arc River in the Maurienne valley of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, and its position on the route towards the Alpine frontier has long made transport central to local life. The Culoz–Modane railway follows the valley here, while the road above town climbs towards the Col du Télégraphe, on the approach to Valloire and the Col du Galibier. Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne is also remembered for the 1917 derailment of a troop train, France’s deadliest railway disaster.
