The Ance is a direct tributary of the Loire. Taking its source in the Forez mountains at some 1,400 meters above sea level, it flows into the "wildest river in Europe" after a 77 kilometer run. Here, the Ance is bordered by the GR 3 path, famous for following the thread of the Loire.

Valprivas is a small town perched on the top of a hill which rises above 800 meters above sea level.
