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.

Nice crossing point in the middle of the ruins. The Grande Porte farm is a good restaurant/refreshment point with a lovely view overlooking the abbey. There is also a water point within the abbey to fill the gourds.

The artist Felice Varini has created an interesting work on the ruins of the Mazan Abbey, built in the 12th century. It is part of an artistic journey around the watershed line which crosses the Ardèche. This one is called “A circle and a thousand fragments” where the artist chose to work with gold leaf, mineral on mineral.

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.
