NATURE IS EXCEPTIONAL

  A GENERAL PRESENTATION
  THE GRAND SITE IS PROTECTED 

  THE CLIMATE

  THE FAUNA

  THE FLORA

The landscape, fruit of a combination of natural factors (climate, volcanism, glaciations) and man’s input (farming, etc.), is the primary wealth in the Puy Mary massif.

The flora, blurred in a flamboyant array of luminosity and fragrance, and the high country fauna reminding us that nature is protected here, are proof of the exceptional environment on this site.

W
aterfalls, resulting from geological formation, are another spectacular feature of the Grand Site’s natural heritage. There are many examples spread homogeneously throughout the territory and in particular at Dienne, Lavigerie, Cheylade and Mandailles.

There are also several lakes, ideal for fishing (Dienne, Lascelles, Le Claux), testimony of the geologically complex past.
