The Roudon is a river in France that runs in the Allier department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region . It rises near the hamlet of Les Pérochons , in the municipality of Montcombroux-les-Mines , drains in several large loops, but generally in a northerly direction, through the sparsely populated area of the Sologne Bourbonnaise and flows after 36 kilometers in the municipality of Diou as a left tributary, for example 200 meters above the Besbre estuary, in the Loire . In the estuary section, the Roudon passes under the Canal latéral à la Loire , which here runs parallel to the Loire.
