Chilhac

Highlight • Other

This village sits on top of a rocky outcrop. This cliff is the result of a lava flow dated 1.6 million years ago. The basalt organs found in the town are remarkable. They measure more than seven meters in height.

This natural curiosity is the result of an unusual volcanic phenomenon. It was a slow cooling that allowed the lava to solidify. It then takes on this characteristic colonnade appearance.

View of the Blot cliffs from the road (very pleasant by bike, and little traffic). These cliffs are called basalt columns. They are made of basalt, volcanic rock made from cooled magma.
