생 제네스트 라샹‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪8‬개의 천연기념물

A place with a 360° view of the Haute Ardèche.

A superb view, an old path, and a pretty waterfall. Start with the village. We started at our lodge.

Collanges Lake is a 48-hectare artificial lake (which also serves as a water control dam for the Eyrieux Valley). Swimming is prohibited, but fishing is permitted (category 2). For swimming, you can visit the Eyrium aquatic center, with its 1,650 m² nestled in unspoiled nature, a large swimming pool, beaches, and games.

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.

The ruins of Rochebonne castle, in the upper Eyrieux valley, are perched on a granite promontory dominating the left bank of the Eyrieux, 850 meters above sea level.

Pleasant road with little traffic to the 4 vios pass. Beautiful beech wood up to broom and heather

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.
