[occ] Aserat
Azerat is located on the D6089 between Thenon and Brive.
In Azerat, the Douzillet and Douyme rivers join to form the Cern, once supplying a mill in the village via a reservoir and a canal that still exist. The Chapel of Our Lady of Good Hope (MH) was built in the 13th century following a vow made by Elbes de Souillac. Azerat castle is not open to the public. The church of Saint-Martin is unusual with its bell-tower-wall.
The motorway viaduct, a gigantic work of art spanning the valley irrigated by the River Douime, is worth a detour. A new Economic Zone has recently been created between Thenon and Azerat.
