Plm station
Following a number of technical constraints, it was decided that the rail line would pass through the center of Tonnerre. In 1849, the imperial Paris-Tonnerre line was inaugurated... with Tonnerre as its terminus! And the town benefited greatly. Two years later, on the occasion of the opening of the Tonnerre-Dijon section, Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte even honored the town with a visit. As soon as it was built, Tonnerre station was classified as an "exceptional station", the highest architectural distinction of its kind.
Presentation and history of Tonnerre
Tonnerre first appeared in Roman times as Tornodurum, meaning "fortress". For the Lingons, it was the capital of the Pagus tornodorensis. Here, in the Armançon valley, the County of Tonnerre was created, and served as a crossing point between Paris and Dijon, at a time when the King of France had designs on the Duchy of Burgundy.
