Located
in the south of the Auvergne region, at the border between the
Ardèche and Haute-Loire districts, the Mont Mézenc
(5,750 ft) is often called the Giant of the Cévennes mountains.
It is the highest point of both districts. This former volcano is located on the water separation line between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea. It overlooks a range of volcanoes, the likes of which can't be seen anywhere else in Europe. The area is a paradise for volcano enthusiasts. Phonilitic "sucs", basaltic flows, crater lakes, fire and water have been shaping the landscape for millions of years. |

The area's geological
richness makes for a varied landscape: high plateaux covered
with "sucs", deep gorges (Gorges of the Loire), and
valleys (in Ardèche). This wild and preserved area is a great location for walking and other open air activities. |
