**Abrest** (French pronunciation: [\[abʁɛ\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/French); [Occitan](/source/Occitan_language): *Abrèt*) is a [commune](/source/Communes_of_France) in the [Allier](/source/Allier) [department](/source/Departments_of_France) in the [Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes](/source/Auvergne-Rh%C3%B4ne-Alpes) region of central [France](/source/France).

The commune is one of the 37 communes in the urban area of [Vichy](/source/Vichy) and is also part of Vichy Auvergne countryside.

## Geography

### Communications

#### Roads

The Abrest Town Hall with its bus stop for Line D at the left and towards Saint-Yorre to the right in September 2013.

The town is traversed by the D906e (former D906) road which links [Le Puy-en-Velay](/source/Le_Puy-en-Velay), [Thiers](/source/Thiers%2C_Puy-de-D%C3%B4me), [Puy-Guillaume](/source/Puy-Guillaume), and [Saint-Yorre](/source/Saint-Yorre) to [Vichy](/source/Vichy) which is the main axis of movement. Historically this road was National Highway 106 from [Nimes](/source/Nimes) to [Saint-Gérand-le-Puy](/source/Saint-G%C3%A9rand-le-Puy). This route is heavily used by trucks, so could be described as a problematic area.

The town is far from any motorway: the [A719 motorway](/source/A719_autoroute) (which enables access to the A71) is 20 kilometres (12 mi) to the west and the A89 motorway (junction *Thiers-West*) is 30 kilometres (19 mi) away.

The Southwest Bypass (**contournement sud-ouest**), which aims to divert the flow of heavy vehicles, will be opened in 2016.[5]

**Departmental roads traversing the territory of the commune are**

- D426 from Vichy to Abrest via *ZA de la Croix Saint-Martin* and the camp ground;

- D126 from Cusset to Abrest via *Côte Saint-Amand*;

- D131 from Vichy to Hauterive (along the left bank) serving the business area La Tour;

- D175 from Cusset to the D43 (63) via *Le Vernet* and *Busset* along the commune border with [Le Vernet](/source/Le_Vernet%2C_Allier), accessible from the Quinssat road.

#### Public transports

Abrest is served by two of the nine lines of the transit network [MobiVie](/source/MobiVie):

- **Route D** serves the right bank (camp ground, Stadium of Graviers, the Castle, Town Hall, and the Biernets district) and runs from Monday to Saturday with four outbound and five return trips per day.

- **Route G** serves the left bank (district and industrial area of *La Tour* and *Les Sables*) and runs from Monday to Saturday with five runs per day.

- **Custom MobiVie** is a transport service on demand which is available to connect with routes B and D on the right bank, and routes B and C on the left bank.

Only the Dollots district in the south is served by the [TER](/source/TER) between Vichy and [Pont-de-Dore](/source/Peschadoires), [Thiers](/source/Thiers%2C_Puy-de-D%C3%B4me), and [Arlanc](/source/Arlanc) (6 daily round trips). This service also runs on Sundays and holidays (3 return trips).

Route 55 (Vichy-[Châteldon](/source/Ch%C3%A2teldon)-[Puy-Guillaume](/source/Puy-Guillaume)) of the Transdôme network serves Abrest (one round trip per day and two during the school year) serves the town centre and Dollots.[6]

#### Cycling

There are no cycle routes in right bank of Allier and no bicycle parkings.

#### Rail

Tunnel entrance passing under the town

The commune has no railway station but it is traversed by two railway lines:

- [Vichy–Riom railway](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vichy%E2%80%93Riom_railway&action=edit&redlink=1);

- [Saint-Germain-des-Fossés–Darsac railway](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Saint-Germain-des-Foss%C3%A9s%E2%80%93Darsac_railway&action=edit&redlink=1) (freight traffic only).

### Urban Planning

Between 2008 and 2010, the development of Highway D906 was conducted in two phases under a communal contract for construction of the town:[7]

Firstly, in 2008 with the creation of a 30 kilometres per hour (19 mph) zone[Note 1] and road humps with a pedestrian crossing and secondly in 2009-2010, the development of the D906 road to the right of the town hall.[Note 2] The development has not altered the quality of the road: in some places the road has deteriorated due to the passage of heavy trucks, which can not take any other route.

### Geology

The city is listed as a *zone of low seismicity* as are the majority of communes in the department.[8] Its neighbouring communes, with the exception of [Brugheas](/source/Brugheas), are listed at the same level.

## History

The name of the commune in the form of *ABRET* (Latin *arbor* meaning "tree") was mentioned for the first time in 1301 in the Dictionary of Mr. Chazaud.[9]

Abrest was formerly a [parish](/source/Parish) in the [diocese of Clermont](/source/Diocese_of_Clermont). It was fortified at the end of the 16th century and the current commune lies on both banks of the [Allier](/source/Allier). This is quite unusual because in general important rivers tend to serve as communal boundaries.

At the highest point is an old castle called *Hurlevants* with a view across the Allier valley and the mountains of Auvergne. The Chaussins Castle dates from the 15th century. The construction of the church dates from 1793, and as for the Town Hall, it was built in 1886.[10]

### Activities in the commune

**Wine:** The commune was one of the main localities of the former *wine coast* along with [Le Vernet](/source/Le_Vernet%2C_Allier), [Creuzier-le-Vieux](/source/Creuzier-le-Vieux) and to a lesser extent, [Saint-Yorre](/source/Saint-Yorre) and [Cusset](/source/Cusset).

Jacques François Chomel in his *Treatise of mineral water and baths of Vichy*, appeared at Clermont in 1734 and wrote: "The wine in Vichy is good, the slopes of Abret [Abrest], of Crotte [extinct village located at the site of the Ailes district], Longevigne, the vintage of Celestins, of [Ris](/source/Ris%2C_Puy-de-D%C3%B4me), of [Châteldon](/source/Ch%C3%A2teldon) on the other side of the river Grave-la-rama [a place where Bellerive is currently], all these wines are good and are available in Paris."

The vineyards lasted until the early 20th century.

The small village of Biernets (which was written "Biernay" in the 18th century) was the most important wine village of the commune. There was a high proportion of vintners in the population (up to 70% of the population in 1750, as well as related activities such as cooperage).

The peak of the grape harvests was in the middle of the 19th century. Much of the slopes of Saint-Amand and Dollots hill were covered with vines.

The **Rue des Vignes** (Vines Street) and the **Rue du Baril** (Barrel street) are remnants of this activity.

Today, the vineyards have not completely disappeared, grapes are still cultivated a little in some places (2-3 family vineyards).

**Port:** Abrest was a small port on the right bank of the Allier. The **impasse du Vieux-Port** (Cul-de-sac of the Old Port) still bears witness. This port probably lived on a heavy traffic of wine.[11]
