Natural Wonders of France

France's diverse landscape ranges from the alpine heights of Mont Blanc and the Aiguille du Midi to the volcanic domes of Massif Central's Puy de Dôme and Puy de Sancy. In the Pyrenees, the limestone massif of Mont Perdu and the high-altitude observatory at Pic du Midi de Bigorre offer dramatic vistas, while the Col du Tourmalet serves as a legendary mountain pass. Underground, the subterranean rivers of Padirac Cave and the prehistoric paintings of Lascaux and Pech Merle reveal ancient geological and human history. The list also includes the sculpted boxwoods of Marqueyssac and the coastal panoramas of Nice's Castle Hill.
