Le Volcan de Lemptégy

Volcanoes ! Who can remain indifferent to such a fascinating world?

As you explore this Volcano on foot or on board our little train, led by an experienced guide, you will learn about volcanism in a hands-on and fun way, and share in the history of its industrial heritage. You will be astounded by the site’s immensity. Imagine… 30 000 years ago, first one volcano, then two, gave birth to the Volcan de Lemptégy.

Today, they sleep peacefully, you can touch volcanic bombs, walk along the lava flow, and meander through the volcanic vents.

Before or after the visit, stop by our exhibition room to see rock samples and learn about research being conducted at Lemptégy; you can also view a film on the world of quarrymen.
