Collanges (French pronunciation: [kɔlɑ̃ʒ]; Occitan: Colanjas) is a commune in the Puy-de-Dôme department in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes in central France.[3] It is in the canton of Brassac-les-Mines.[4]

History

[edit]

The historical development of the site and the region from medieval times were directly linked to the evolution of the families of the Lords of Collanges[5] and the establishment of the Château de Collanges (castle of Collanges).[6] Therefore since the occupations of WW2 the village and territory went under reconstruction until current days. Today Collanges presents modern transportation and communication while preserving its heritage of a historical site of France in the European Community.
