Pic du Lizieux

Pic du Lizieux, Volcanic mountain peak in Haute-Loire, France.

Pic du Lizieux is a phonolite suc, a lava dome, rising to 1,386 metres at the eastern end of the Meygal massif, on the commune of Araules in Velay. Its north-east slope holds a mosaic of groves, scree and heathland with a subalpine plant cover. The summit carries an orientation table.

An ancient fortress called Bonas once stood on the mountain's southern slopes, first recorded in 1165 and later rebuilt as a Gothic castle under church control. It was destroyed in 1565, leaving only traces in the landscape today.

The name Lizieux derives from the Latin nemus, meaning wood, recorded as Nemus de Lizieuc in 1373 and Bois de Liziou in 1608. The summit's orientation table, installed on 12 July 1970, points out the Mézenc plateau, the Lignon and the Pays des Sucs.

The summit is reached by the sentier de découverte de Bonas, a waymarked trail on the mountain's southern side. A table d'orientation installed on 12 July 1970 shows the view over the Mézenc plateau, the Lignon and the Pays des Sucs; the Alps, including Mont Blanc, appear only when the Rhône valley is free of mist.

The summit's orientation table, installed on 12 July 1970, points out the Mézenc plateau, the Lignon valley and much of the Pays des Sucs and Meygal. On clear days without mist in the Rhône valley, the Alps and Mont Blanc are visible from it.
