The commune of Saint-Polgues is located in the department of Loire in the region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Medium altitude of Saint-Polgues is 582 meters.

The story is at the turn of the street. The keep, vestige of the feudal castle, dominates the region since 1048. Private property, the fourteenth-century communes are in restoration. The 13th century church, which hides under its tiles the tombs of the lords of Saint-Polgues, was rebuilt from the 1830s.

During the Revolution, the count was guillotined at Feurs. The viaduct, spanning the Isable for the tacot that went from Roanne to Saint-Just-en-Chevalet, from 1897 to 1936, is now part of the curiosities of the pedestrian circuits starting from the church.
