Sources and gorges of the Allier
The hiking circuit starts in Brioude in Haute-Loire and ends in La Bastide-Puylaurent. In 9 or 11 stages perfectly described and downloadable from https://www.rando-hauteloire.fr/randos-itinerantes/gr-470-sources-et-gorges-de-lallier/ (thanks to the Haute-Loire de la FFRP). It is a question of going up the Allier by alternating peaks and valleys. The stages do not exceed 6 hours (except 1) and the average elevation gain is 550 meters. The signage is perfect. The ground is mostly soft (earth, sand, peat) and you walk under cover at least half the time. Accommodation at each stage is easy. Eating out is just as much a pleasure, we love good food in Haute-Loire and Lozere, and always at low prices, with a smile.
This circuit is very little practiced except when it shares the route with the too famous St James, for only 2 hours, fortunately. The landscape allows you to discover volcanic rocks and deciduous forests as well as many villages rich in history. Personally, I will keep a beautiful memory of discovery and healing. Ending the journey at the Etoile guest house in La Bastide-Puylaurent is one of the beauties to experience. Pierre DUTHY – August 2023
