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.

The place emerged as a settlement around a castle from the 13th century, which has been largely destroyed since the 17th century.
The village developed mainly due to its location on the Via Podiensis and offers several hostels. It is also an important base for white water sports enthusiasts on the Allier River.
