Geography

History

The commune bore the name of Aussac initially, the addition of Vadalle is very recent, 1983. That was necessary to avoid confusion with the communes of Ansac, Aunac etc… An evolution which was made right before the installation of the zip code.

Aussac owes its origin and its name with the small brook which crossed the commune then.

Altério or Alciaco at the beginning, then Aussaco and still Aussat to become finally the name which we know Aussac.

With the Middle Ages, the parish of Aussac was entirely covered by the forest with Boixe. At the 11th century, Aussac and Vadalle were only one kind of broad clearing, surrounded by all dimensioned by the forest.

The successive clearings made move back the latter which occupies today only one very weak part of the territory of the commune. The borough of Aussac is built at the top of a hill, 163 meters.
