alluvials


On the evening of June 13, 2017, very violent storms hit the Haute-Loire and caused catastrophic floods, particularly in the area of the village of Le Brignon. A great wave swept through the narrow valley of Bèthe Stream, causing the destruction of a bridge and the death of a man. The riverbed was totally devastated and stripped to the bedrock. Spectacular basaltic organs have been updated.
Thanks to Alain Guyot, with Stéphane Jamon, for taking me to this spectacular site
