Langeac is a small town nestled in the Allier gorges. The place is ideal for practicing the most diverse outdoor sports: white water activities, hiking, and of course cycling.

This village sits on top of a rocky outcrop. This cliff is the result of a lava flow dated 1.6 million years ago. The basalt organs found in the town are remarkable. They measure more than seven meters in height. This natural curiosity is the result of an unusual volcanic phenomenon. It was a slow cooling that allowed the lava to solidify. It then takes on this characteristic colonnade appearance.

The town of Langeac is in the heart of the Allier gorges. You can practice many activities on the territory of this town, starting with beautiful hikes and all white water sports. Although small, the city has a cinema, a media library and a cultural center.

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!
