Circuit "Découverte des basaltes" autour d'Antraïgues
The lava flow in Antraïgues, from the young volcano of Aizac (approximately 80 years old) known as the "Coupe d'Aizac" has invaded, due to the steepening of the relief, the valleys of Mas, Bise and Volane leaving numerous testimonies of this eruptive period.
The promontory on which the village is built, the cheese rock at its foot, the Espissard waterfall, the cliffs near the lake...
The variety of colors and shapes surprises.
Volcanic stone has been widely used in construction (faisses or house walls) but also anecdotally (sculptures in the alleys of Antraigues).
On your journey, you will pass along or see the béalières (agricultural irrigation canals) and the water supply canals to the old mills.
