The Tchier de Borée is a contemporary artwork situated in the heart of the volcanic landscapes of the Boutières region. Created in 2008 by Fabienne Versé and Serge Boyer, this megalithic installation comprises 70 standing stones arranged in a circle 80 meters in diameter. Each stone bears a symbol or message: runes, astrological signs, natural elements (air, water, fire, earth), winds, mythology… The word “Tchier” (from the local dialect) means “pile of stones”: a tribute to stone, time, and the memory of the land. https://www.montagnedardeche.com/patrimoine-culturel/tchier-de-boree-2634/

Lots of hikers. Be polite and share the trail. The descent with the small steps is a treat.

One of the most beautiful viewpoints in the region with the village of Borée, at the foot of the Sucs and Mont Mézenc

A pass at an altitude of over 1500 m. It is the highest in Ardèche.

Mont Gerbier-de-Jonc is one of the highest peaks of the Monts d'Ardèche in the south-eastern Massif Central. The mountain itself is a striking, extinct volcanic cone with a good view over the Massif Central. The ascent and descent require some fitness and good footwear. There are a few short climbing rocks that cannot be avoided. But the view is worth it.

Contemporary work by Fabienne and Serge Boÿer: Glypheins sculptors. 70 stones engraved with symbols, myths of the country of Boutières, allegory. The cultural history of the high country of Boutières is told through nine themes: memory, reflection and philosophers, secrets and desires, travelers and pilgrims, astronomers and cartographers.

Unfortunately, swimming is forbidden

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.
