Corbas

Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Rhône

Today town in the countryside, Corbas was once a rural village built in the Gallo-Roman era. Villa Corbatis in the 10th century, it only became a commune in its entirety in the course of the nineteenth century, when it separated from Marennes.
