[FR] L'arrivée du chemin de fer à La Roche-Posay, la construction de la gare ainsi que celle du pont dans les années 1890, permettent à la ville de devenir une station fréquentée de la ligne de Châtellerault - Châteauroux.

Cette gare favorise l'essor de la ville permettant à la haute bourgeoisie parisienne de venir prendre les eaux à La Roche-Posay. La ligne de chemin de fer est en activité jusqu’en 1952 pour les voyageurs et 1972 pour les marchandises.

[EN] With the arrival of the railroad in La Roche-Posay, and the construction of the station and the bridge in 1890, the town became a busy travel hub along the Châtellerault - Châteauroux line.

The station greatly contributed to the development of the town, allowing Parisian gentry to come and take the waters at La Roche-Posay. The railway continued to transport passengers until 1952 and freight until 1972.
