Late afternoon view from the slopes of Puy de Pariou in S direction to Puy de Dôme (1465 m). This lava dome formed approx. 10700 years ago due to an eruption of Peléan type. It represents the highest summit of the Chaîne des Puys, an assemblage of volcanic cones, lava domes, and maars associated to the European Cenozoic Rift System.
