The Planèze of Saint-Flour is a French volcanic plateau, belonging to the Cantal Mounts. It is a traditional area of the Auvergne region. Originally, the name "Planèze" refers specifically to the Cantal Mounts region. The term was then taken over by geographers to characterise the basaltic plateaus from volcanic eruptions. ==Location== The basaltic plateau is the eastern part of the Cantal Mountains. It is delimited by the Alagnon, Truyère, Lagnon and valley of Epi. There is a distinction between the Upper Planèze (or “Mountain”) and the Lower Planèze (or “real Planèze”). The first one is located at over 1100 meters in altitude and joins practically the summits of the Cantal Mounts. It lies to the west of a line passing through the villages of Paulhac, Valuéjols and Ussel. The real Planèze of Saint-Flour is located to the east of this line and of the Carladès area. It contains two isolated summits of a few tens of meters high that can be seen on the right-hand of the road, going from Saint-Flour to Les Ternes: first the Puech of Frayssinet (1048 meters) with an old chapel and a hamlet, and the two mounds of Tanavelle (1051 meters and 1092 meters), one of which has a village with its Romanesque church. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Planèze of Saint-Flour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
