Gare d'Alleyras walks
Circular walk of the castles and fortified towns of Alleyras
Starting from Pont d’Alleyras station, a crossing point over the Allier for over 2,000 years, the Vabres plain has always been dotted with numerous castles and watchtowers to control the passage of travellers. This route follows one of the two Roman roads designed to link Bordeaux, the capital of Aquitaine, with Lyon, the capital of Gaul, passing through the southern part of the Massif Central towards Rodez and Cahors. In the Middle Ages, the River Allier formed the boundary between the Velay and the Gévaudan regions.
