Cascade de Faillitoux, Volcanic waterfall near Thiézac, France.
The Faillitoux waterfall plunges 41 meters down columnar basalt formations, creating a natural display of vertical rock patterns in Cantal department.
The columnar basalt cliff face at Faillitoux waterfall formed during past volcanic activity in the Massif Central region of France.
Local farmers maintain Salers cattle herds in the surrounding pastures, continuing agricultural traditions that shape the Cantal landscape.

The Lasmolineries stream drops over perfectly formed hexagonal basalt columns, resulting from specific cooling conditions of ancient lava flows.
