The Ray Pic waterfall

The Ray Pic waterfall offers a spectacular panorama. Its surroundings offers very pleasant walks in the Ardeche forest.

“La Cascade du Ray Pic”, besides being the most beautiful waterfall in the Ardeche department, is a very interesting geological place because it is a natural volcanic site where the river “la Bougres” falls more than 60 meters in the canyon.

Thank you so much @TravellerG !

The Ray-Pic waterfall is a natural waterfall that springs out among the basaltic organs. It is located in the town of Péreyres, in the heart of the Cévennes ardéchoises, just over 1,000 meters above sea level. This place is classified as a natural volcanic site since 1931.

You can access the waterfall from the D 215C, which connects the village of Burzet to Lachamp-Raphaël. From the parking located on the edge of the road, a marked path allows access by a walk of about 15 minutes to a gazebo.

Warning! Since the 90’s, swimming in the Bourges is prohibited because of the risk of landslide.

Dear @KatyaL ,

For sure! Ardeche is a marvelous land with thousands of fantastic places.

As you can see I’m new here and my ambition is to regularly send articles, photos and videos to spread this beautiful region all around the world.

There is many waterfalls right here. After the next storm I’ll go taking pictures of the Rochecolombe one.

Next I should go to the Gerbier-de-Jonc Mountain.

Thank You!

Hey @ThomasLoisReynaud ,

I’m interested to see Ardeche in France. It looks like an amazing region to go sailing and having a rest close to Lyon. I haven’t been to this part of France so far, but I would love to gather more information about it. Good luck for your trips to Rochecolombe and Mont Gerbier de Jonc.
