Roc de Peyre, Volcanic summit in Saint-Sauveur-de-Peyre, France
The Roc de Peyre stands at 1179 meters above sea level, dominating the Valley of Hell with its impressive basalt formation in the Lozère department.
The fortress of Peyre, situated on this peak, remained unconquered until the 15th century when Admiral Joyeuse destroyed it in response to Mathieu Merle's actions.
The summit represents a significant landmark in the Aubrac Regional Natural Park, offering visitors an orientation table to identify surrounding geographical features.
A designated parking area and marked path lead visitors to the summit, where metal railings ensure safety while exploring the mountain peak.
The volcanic peak dates from the Pliocene period and stands independently from the Aubrac volcanic system, marking a distinct geological formation in the region.
