The Cirque des Boutières cliff represents what remains of the crater of an ancient volcano, subsequently ruined by glacial erosion which created
a large amphitheater. In this magnificent circus, you will be able to admire an interesting and characteristic fauna and flora of the Mézenc Gerbier massif.
