At 1,343 meters above sea level, the Suc de Cherchemuse is an ancient volcano in the Velay region. From its summit, you benefit from a pleasant view of the great juices of the Mézenc massif.

This view awaits you when you come out of the forest

great place for a break

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.
