The Boucle des Sources is a 12km nature trail through lush green surroundings, with the sound of croaking birds and the natural freshness of the Allier riverbanks. The route takes you through the town of Abrest and the magnificent Parc Larbaud in Saint-Yorre, returning via the charming village of Hauterive.
The railway bridge, a link between the two banks of the Abrest commune, offers a breathtaking view of the riverbed and marks a signal: that of nature and the river banks rediscovered. The descent to the south offers landscapes and atmospheres whose variety and richness are equalled only by their authenticity... The identity of the area is soon apparent.
The water and springs of Saint-Yorre sparkle and welcome the walker with an unparalleled view of the Vichy Saint-Yorre water bottling plant. The Loop des Sources is the assurance of an itinerary designed and adapted for everyone, in a wooded environment where families and more experienced sportsmen and women will take pleasure in crossing an ever-changing countryside. Numerous picnic areas and information points allow you to enjoy these spots along the way. It's also an opportunity to follow a section of the Via Allier alongside the river, or to continue your tour of the town by joining the Boucle des Iles to the north, which also spans the Allier and continues on to the Boucle du Lac.
