Vallée de l'Aspre
Several villages like Fontanges, Le Fau and La Bastide are tucked away in the vallée de l’Aspre (Aspre valley), which is quite wild and unknown, leading to the Bois Noirs (Black Woods). For the lovers of geology, this valley has several pyroclastic flows (dense and turbulent emulsion of different sized lava fragments and high speed gas flows) at the Coin waterfall and La Peyre del Cros village.
