View of the Puys de la Vache and Lassolas

Highlight • Volcano

The Puys de la Vache and Lassolas are the youngest volcanoes in Auvergne. Their craters are gouged and their long lava flows form a unique volcanic landscape. From here you have an exceptional view of the two puys.

Otherwise, the ride was nice.
