Puy de la Nugère, Volcanic mountain in Volvic, France.
The Puy de la Nugère rises to 994 meters above sea level, featuring multiple interlocking cones and a crater with a depth of 82 meters.
In 1751, geologist Jean-Étienne Guettard identified Puy de la Nugère as a volcano, marking the beginning of volcanic studies in the Auvergne region.
The mountain's trachyte-andesite stone flows have provided construction material since the 13th century, used in numerous regional monuments including Clermont Cathedral.
The mountain offers multiple hiking trails connecting to the broader network of paths in the Chaîne des Puys, with access points from the town of Volvic.
Underground water discovered at 60 meters depth through volcanic flow drilling now supplies drinking water to the Riom region through a tunnel built in 1927.
