The Suc de Chapteuil is an enormous organ rock which represents an ancient volcanic chimney. The 360 degree view is sublime. We'll be amazed!

The Suc de Chapteuil is an enormous organ rock which represents an ancient volcanic chimney. Organs have always been used in construction, notably for the castle of the lords of Chapteuil, the remains of which can be seen.

Magnificent view and possibility of picnicking at the top.

Mézères is a remarkable village and should appear in my opinion in the list of the most beautiful villages of France. The inhabitants knew how to make marvelous use of the volcanic environment of their country. The houses are built of phonolites and other volcanic stones, and instead of tiles to cover the roofs, there are lauzes (large and heavy flat stones). On the town you will also find a basalt organ, proof of the intense geological activity, 12 million years ago.

Impressive basalt organ, on which the small village of Queyrières is leaned. It is possible to go around the rock.

The Corboeuf ravine, a multicolored clay canyon between volcanoes and the Swiss gorges, is one of the most impressive natural monuments in Haute-Loire.

This place is at an altitude of 722 m. From here you can see the cathedral of Le-Puy-en-Velay, the impressively beautiful Saint-Michel chapel on a 90 m high volcanic needle and the large bronze statue "Notre-Dame-de-France". The name of this place "Montjoie" (Mountain of Joy) is based on Monte Gozo near Santiago de Compostela. Pilgrims who traveled far and wide, who previously endured not only effort but also danger, must have been immensely happy about the near destination of their pilgrimage.
