Geography
Bellerive-sur-Allier was member of Gannat district in 1793, which becomes an arrondissement in 1801; member of the arrondissement of Lapalisse from 1926 to 1942 and arrondissement of Vichy since 1942.

Vaissa dins la Comunautat d'Aglomeracion Vichèi Val d'Alèir.png|alt=Location of Bellerive-sur-Allier in the Vichy Val d'Allier conurbation|Bellerive-sur-Allier in the former Vichy Val d'Allier intercommunality. Bellerive-sur-Allier is at the junction of several main roads, including the main ones: * the departemental road 2209 (D2209); * the departmental road 1093 (D1093); * the departemental road 984 (D984) passing by the town hall; * the departemental road 6 (D6) coming from Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule. These main roads are not enough to relieve congestion at peak hours (quasi-permanent stoppers on deck Bellerive) and the arrival of the A719 motorway in 2015, though it approaches the heart of the town, was not enough to improve the traffic conditions. The main roads are closed to vehicles weighing more than 7.5 tonnes except for local traffic. Controls are organized regularly by municipal services to ensure that heavy vehicles comply with the regulations. Parking is free. It performs even side on even years and odd side on odd years.
