Old stones, a crazy authenticity, nature and an absolutely perfect setting to recharge your batteries... Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule is one of those destinations that we love. Discreet but amazing, this village of Allier has all the cards in hand to seduce the lovers of history and green breaks.

In the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule is located in the center of the Allier department. Bathed by the waters of the Sioule, this city at equidistance of Clermont-Ferrand and Montluçon will dazzle you by the richness of its heritage. Founded around the 5th century around an old monastery, this town unconditionally invites you to stroll around. Take the time to pass by the Maréchal Foch square dominated by the silhouette of the Tour de l'Horloge, before stopping at the Sainte-Croix church: with its impressive frame, this Romano-Gothic style church is particularly worth a visit for the beauty of its choir, its high altar and its nave. Then your walk will certainly lead you to the Musée de la Vigne et du Terroir dedicated to the history of the town and the vineyard of Saint-Pourçain; because the commune of Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule is indeed known for its AOC vineyard which goes back to the Antiquity! Then continue your discovery of this township with southern accents in its peaceful courtyards lined with plane trees, like the Cour des Bénédictins. Pass by the Charles-de-Gaulle Bridge which offers a superb view of the old town, and climb up to the Briailles hill. Perched at an altitude of 296 meters, to the east of the city, it is worth a visit for its castle, its classified chapel, its pond, its golf course and its panorama on the city! Note also that you can enjoy the banks of the Allier River at the Île Ronde, perfect for a picnic or fishing in complete peace.

The Val de Sioule is a great open-air playground for nature lovers, with more than 800 kilometers of marked paths and trails perfect for hiking, running and mountain biking. Those who love water activities can opt for rafting or canoeing sessions along the Sioule river, while fans of sensational activities can try tree climbing, microlighting, paramotoring, horseback riding, air shooting, golf, swimming...
