Roche Fleurie, Mountain summit in Orelle, France

Roche Fleurie reaches an elevation of 2,573 meters in the Cerces Massif, overlooking the Orelle forest and the Bissorte dam.

The geological formations of Roche Fleurie date from the Westphalian to Lower Stephanian periods, consisting of conglomerates and sandstone.

An orientation table near the Notre-Dame-des-Anges chapel in Orelle displays this peak under the name Rocher Fleuri.

The main access route follows the Prec track from Orelle, requiring a one-hour walk to reach the Bissorte dam.

In August 2023, a rockfall of 10,000 cubic meters from the cliff marked the largest incident on the French railway network in 45 years.
