Volcano in France

Chaîne des Puys

The Chaîne des Puys (French: [ʃɛːn de pɥi]; lit. 'Chain of the Puys') is a north-south oriented volcanic field, about 40 kilometres (25 mi) long, comprising 48 cinder cones, eight lava domes, and 15 maars and explosion craters, in the Massif Central of France. Its highest point is the lava dome of Puy de Dôme, located near the middle of the chain, which is 1,465 metres (4,806 ft) high. The name of the range comes from a regional French term, puy, which refers to a volcanic mountain with a rounded profile.
