La cascade du Trou de la Conche

Cantal, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

The Trou de la Conche waterfall is a listed site, set in a valley above Vic-sur-Cère, a spa town in the Cantal known for its upland setting. The fall, cut into a breach in the rock, is fed by the Iraliot stream, which rises at 1,263 metres on the Coyan plateau. Reached by a footpath from the village, it is a favourite stop for walkers exploring the Cère valley.

The lava came out through a fissure and diverted the Faillitoux. The river found its bed and took its place again. The waterfall crosses a basalt flow (vertically prismatic) with large crystals of pyroxene and olivine.
