Via Allier

Stretching 455 km along the Allier River, from its confluence with the Loire near Nevers to Langogne in Lozère close to its source, the Auvergne cycle route begins near the famous Bec d’Allier—where the Allier meets the Loire and the Via Allier joins the renowned Loire à Vélo. The Via Allier follows the river southward, passing countless treasures up to the top of the Allier Gorges, near its source nestled in the Cévennes mountains.
