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

The Pic du Lizieux rises to 1388 meters in elevation within the Meygal massif, featuring distinct geological formations composed of phonolite rocks.

The Bonas fortress, first mentioned in 1165 and later transformed into a Gothic castle under episcopal jurisdiction, stood on the southern slope until 1565.

The mountain environment supports traditional activities including the raising of Mezenc beef cattle and the cultivation of red berries in the surrounding areas.

Two main hiking trails lead to the summit, with the Bonas path taking approximately 90 minutes to reach the orientation table installed in 1970.

The phonolite rocks at the summit produce distinctive sounds when struck, creating natural musical notes amid the volcanic landscape.
