Description
The Sidobre is a mountainous area located in the south of the Massif central, in central France. It is a 15.3 km long, 6.6 km wide plateau made of granite, covered with forests. Its highest point is in the lieu-dit “Le Patau” (707 m.).
Originally composed by one single piece of rock (granite), the Sidobre was cracked by the Pyrenean formation, and then carved by the erosion. There are no remnants of glacial moraines, but of stacking rocks by eroding parts of softer rocks.
This stunning site, with its dozens of huge strange-shaped rocks, is unique in Europe , and has inspired many legends and tales.
The Peyro Clabado is a huge rock of 780 tons laid on a natural base. A man can stand under the rock. (Infos wikipedia)
