The formation of the volcanic massif of Cantal has caused lava to rise over fragile areas in this northern part of the Dordogne. These upwellings are still visible today in the form of either small puys or shreds of flow. The Rocher du Grisot, which is, more generally, part of the Puy called Puy d'Enval or Puy de Vernejoux, is a witness hill or outlier cleared by the erosion of a flow whose origin remains unclear.

As well as the Dordogne, there is a panoramic view over the Monts du Cantal. This massif is, in fact, the remnant of a stratovolcano born 13 million years ago, the largest in Europe, eroded by collapse and glacial erosion.

Originating in the Massif du Sancy, the river Dordogne merges with the Garonne to form the Gironde estuary.Between Corrèze and Cantal, the presence of gorges has favoured the construction of hydroelectric dams. At your feet is the Eagle Dam reservoir. 25 km long, it offers wilderness scenery with rocky cliffs, rocky scree and steep wooded slopes.

The first of the large dams to be built on the Dordogne, the hydroelectric dam at Marèges was impounded in 1935. Nicknamed the "innovation dam", Marèges is a concentrate of innovations that have set a precedent in the construction of other large dams in the world. Marèges was the first double-curved arch dam in Europe and the first dam in the world to be equipped with a ski jump spillway. Other innovative processes were tested at Marèges before becoming essential in the design of large structures. More than 5,000 people worked in harsh conditions to build this technological feat. At 90 m high and 247 m long, Marèges was the highest dam in France at the time and thus became a major tourist attraction.

A panoramic view of the Marèges hydroelectric complex as well as of Limousin’s plateaus and the mountains of Auvergne. The path leading to the belvedere starts on the Mole plateau (« cité ouvrière de la SHEM ») in the town of Liginiac. It heads into the woods where you can see vestiges of the history of Marèges dam : air raid defense elements set up by the Germans during WW2 and an old retention basin. The path leads to a special platform set up above the Dordogne river gorges and Marèges dam. An orientation table enables visitors to spot the main visible peaks. The site is located in a « Natura 2000 » zone, with many protected bird species, that come to enjoy the peaceful Dordogne gorges and to mate.
