The Miodet is a 30.4-kilometre (18.9 mi) stream in the Auvergne region.[1] It originates in the Livradois and joins the Dore (left bank), whereby it is a sub-affluent of the Loire.
Geography
The Miodet originates at 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) above sea level, at Saint-Éloy-la-Glacière, near the Bois de Mauchet, elevation 1,095 metres (3,593 ft). It runs almost entirely through wooded areas. It first runs south, before turning north-west at le sommet du Grun du Bois, elevation 896 metres (2,940 ft). It is joined by le ruisseau des Martinanches at Saint-Dier-d'Auvergne, then veers north-east. It runs north shortly before its confluence with the Dore on the left bank.
It is located in the Livradois-Forez Regional Natural Park.[2]
