History

[edit]

During Antiquity, the territory of Vosiacum was part of the territory of the Gallic people of the Bituriges Cubi.

In the Middle Ages, the commune was part of medieval Berry before passing into the modern-day province of Bourbonnais. The parish was part of the diocese of Bourges until the 1820s.

Geography

Voussac is located on departmental road 46, the old Route national 146, which connects Montmarault to Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule. The commune is bordered by Deux-Chaises to the north, Le Theil to the northeast, Fleuriel to the southeast, Target to the south, and Saint-Marcel-en-Murat to the west.

The Vacheresse Forest occupies a notable portion of the commune's territory, to the south-east of the town.

The Venant, a tributary of the Bouble, crosses the commune, flowing from north to southwest. To the south, its wooded valley separates Voussac from Saint-Marcel-en-Murat.
