Ambérieu-en-Bugey, Railway junction commune in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France
The railway station of Ambérieu-en-Bugey serves as a central connection point between Lyon and Geneva, facilitating transportation across eastern France.
The town underwent a name change from Ambérieu to Ambérieu-en-Bugey in 1955, reflecting its geographical position within the historical Bugey region.
Archaeological findings from Roman times, including coins and a child's sarcophagus discovered in the 1840s, indicate early settlement in this area.
