Truc de Balduc, Mountain summit in Lozère, France
The limestone peak of Truc de Balduc reaches 1109 meters above sea level in the Massif Central region of southeastern France.
Archaeological evidence indicates human presence at the summit since prehistoric times, with the construction of Saint-Alban Chapel marking its religious significance.
The cliffs of Truc de Balduc appeared in the 1966 French film 'La Grande Vadrouille', with remnants of vehicles from filming still visible.
Hiking trails to the summit start from Varazoux hamlet, requiring proper equipment and experience due to steep elevation changes.
The mountain stands at the intersection of three municipalities: Saint-Bauzile, Brenoux, and Saint-Étienne-du-Valdonnez, each approximately one kilometer away.
