The Sioule is a 167 kilometres (104 mi) long river in central France, a left tributary of the river Allier. Its source is near the village of Orcival, north of Mont-Dore, in the Massif Central. The Sioule has cut a deep gorge, especially in its upper course. The Sioule flows generally northeast through the following departments and towns:




  • Puy-de-Dôme: Pontgibaud


  • Allier: Ébreuil, Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule


The Sioule flows into the river Allier at La Ferté-Hauterive, 10 km (6 mi) north of Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule.


Its main tributaries are the Sioulet and the Bouble.


The Fades viaduct, the tallest bridge in France, is located on the Sioule.
