A breathtaking view from this impressive bridge. The built foothills of the Allier Valley are splendid.

On the banks of the Allier, the village of Langeac is steeped in its medieval history. Its historic center reveals small craft shops with certain charms. This village is a choice stopover in the heart of Haute-Loire.

Very cute little village, well renovated and maintained, with a nice set up, both on the cliffs with incredible "basaltic columns", and down by the river. There is a nice bar & restaurant, l'Embuscade, where you need to book ahead if you wanna eat there!

This part offers a beautiful view of the village of Saint-Pal-de-Senouire. We can see the Saint-Paul church which sits at the top of the rocky promontory on which the village was built.

This bridge has been classified as a historic monument since 2015. It is one of the four suspension bridges remaining in Haute-Loire. It spans the Allier and offers a beautiful perspective of the gorges.
