ALLIER (anc. Slaver)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 696 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AJA-ALL
ALLIER (anc. Slaver) , a river of central France flowing into the Loire. It rises in the department of
Lozere
 , among the Margeride mountains, a few miles
east
  of the town of Mende. The upper course of the
Allier
  separates the mountains of the Margeride from those of the Velay and lies for the most part through deep gorges. The river then traverses the plains of Langeac and Brioude, and receives the waters of the Alagnon some miles above the town of
Issoire
 . Swelled by torrents from the mountains of Dore and
Dome
 , it unites with the river Dore at its entrance to the department to which it gives its name. It then flows through a wide but shallow channel, joining the Sioule some distance above Moulins, the
chief
  town on its banks. It soon after becomes the boundary line between the departments of Cher and Nievre, and reaches the Loire 4 m. west of Nevers, after a course of 269 M. Its basin has an area. of 6755 sq. m. The
Allier
  is classed as navigable for the last 154 M. of its course, but there is little
traffic
  on it.
