Geography

The Veyre is 32.7km (20.3miles) long.It has no concrete source given that it originates at the plateau des Monts Dore, from the confluence of two streams : la Narse et le Labadeau which begins at the Puy de Vedrine. La Veyre has the particularity of having had its flow breached around 10,000 years ago by a lava flow of the Puy de la Vache and the Puy de Lassolas which formed a volcanic reservoir, the lac d'Aydat. Shortly after the lac d’Aydat, the Veyre then disappears underneath the volcanic heath of la cheire d’Aydat, then reappears downstream of Saint-Saturnin. At Veyre-Monton, between Tallende and Veyre, it is joined by the Monne. It flows into the Allier at Les Martres-de-Veyre.
