    The Ray-Pic waterfall is a natural waterfall and a natural volcanic site. The amazing rock formations of this 60-meter waterfall follow a lava flow that forms a cascade of basalt columns.

      Thousands of years ago, Ray-Pic was an active volcano. This volcano regularly spewed large lava flows, which bore through the surrounding landscape. Research has shown that these lava flows must have been among the longest lava flows in Europe. For example, some lava flows would have been more than twenty kilometers long. As a result of all the natural disasters, Cascade du Ray-Pic was created, as well as the surrounding landscape. Relatively early in history, this waterfall came to be known as one of the most beautiful sights in Ardèche. In 1931 Cascade du Ray-Pic and its surroundings were declared one of the most important natural sites in this region.
