Saint-Privat-d'Allier

Highlight • Settlement

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.

La Clauze Castle

Highlight • Other

All that remains of this medieval castle is this large octagonal keep. In 1575, the looting and destruction of part of the building took place. It represents fairly well the military architecture of the 14th century.

Saugues Town Center

Highlight • Settlement

Many pass through Saugues for the beast of Gévaudan but also for the Vernet pastry and its specialties (carré du Gévaudan, Sauguin,...)

Saint Madeleine Chapel

Highlight • Other

A text from 1312 recalls an oratory in the Monistrol region dedicated to Saint Madeleine. This may be today's cave chapel.
Bones of women and children as well as coins from the beginning of the 17th century were found in the graves carved into the rock to the right and left of the chapel.
