Vallée de l'Auze

Near the Col de Néronne, the Auze River takes its source at 1250m at the base of the Puy de l’Agneau in Le Falgoux village. Its course is steep, crossing plateaus and valleys and the villages of Saint-Bonnet-de-Salers and Anglards-de-Salers. With the Monzola and Sionne affluents, its course is stopped by a volcanic rock fall with a drop of 30 metres (Salins waterfall) and then continues to the West, to the impenetrable wild and woody gorges. Brageac overlooks the river from its rocky outcrop. This river flows across forests (in particular the Miers forest), to finish its 44km course in the Dordogne river near the Eagle dam.
