Saint-Privat-d'Allier majestically dominates the Allier gorges on the slopes of the volcanic massif of Devès and Durande.

Located between Le Puy en Velay and Saugues en Gévaudan, this village is the first stop on the way to Santiago de Compostela on the Via-Podiensis. Located on the borders of the historic provinces of Velay, Gévaudan and Auvergne and perched on a basalt spur, Saint Privat offers an exciting and surprising place to pass through or stay.

Its shops and accommodation offer the guarantee of a comfortable, warm and gourmet welcome.

Le Pont d'Alleyras

Highlight • Bridge

Pont-d'Alleyras, also called Alleyras, is located in the steep gorges of Haut-Allier to the east of the Devès plateau and to the west of Margeride. In this very small village, you quite unexpectedly find a starred restaurant which serves cuisine of exquisite finesse. Fine gourmets, remember to book!
