Saint-Privat-d'Allier

Saint-Privat-d'Allier is one of the first stages of the Le Puy Way and one of the most remembered by pilgrims. The village sits in a spectacular landscape, in the gorges of the Allier River. The stage to get here involves a steep descent down to the river and a subsequent ascent, a true challenge to start the journey. The locality, with its castle and church, offers a haven of peace and the necessary services for rest. It is a stop that combines physical effort with the reward of a wild natural environment in the heart of the Auvernia region. An intense and unforgettable beginning of pilgrimage.
