ラク・ドゥ・ブシェ周辺のおすすめ滝ハイキング＆ウォーキング

Ruined castle

With its pretty town, its varied range of accommodation and its small shops, Alleyras is the ideal place to get away from it all in an active way near the Allier.

As its name suggests, this hamlet attached to the town of Alleyras is distinguished by its pretty bridge which overlooks the Allier.

The Beaume waterfall is a unique place! This 27 meter high waterfall is the result of erosion: the waters of the Ourzie river cut into the basalt of the plateau and spring from the top of the cliff to then give rise to the Beaume, a tributary of the Loire.

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!

From here we have a superb view of the Allier.

A small path of about a hundred meters allows you to pass under the basalt flow through what looks like a cave, and to observe the rock up close. The passage requires you to lean, and it is protected from the slope by a small wall. This is not the "official" general public trail but the detour does not seem forbidden (March 2021). The additional info: "beaume" comes from the Latin "balma", which means "cave"

Impressive waterfall with a drop of 27m. Very busy at the weekend, as there is also a parking lot nearby. Trees that are rare for the region, such as maritime pines and the almost extinct land elm, grow in the surrounding forest.
