Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Le Pont d'Alleyras

Highlight • Bridge

Pont-d'Alleyras, also called Alleyras, is located in the steep gorges of Haut-Allier to the east of the Devès plateau and to the west of Margeride. In this very small village, you quite unexpectedly find a starred restaurant which serves cuisine of exquisite finesse. Fine gourmets, remember to book!

Superb winding road in the Allier valley

Highlight (Segment) • Other

The entire D40 is superb, but the section between Saint-Privat-d'Allier and Saint-Didier-d'Allier is even more so.

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.

Hairpins above Prades

From Prades, the ascent to the Peyra Taillade pass begins with a beautiful winding road. The perfect setting for training while admiring the landscape.

The Organ Pipes of Prades

Highlight • Natural Monument

At the exit of Prades, an impressive rock formation stands opposite the bridge which straddles the Allier. Right next door, a charming little beach invites you to stop and cool off in this magnificent basalt environment.

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,...)
