The ridges of the Massif du Sancy offer visitors a 360-degree panoramic view which, on a clear day, encompasses 1/7th of the French territory. The orientation table of the Touring club de France, located at the top of Puy de Sancy (6,187 feet / 1,886 metres), even shows the Mont Blanc as a slight prominence immediately North of the Forez mountains, towards the East. Let us wish this photographer for “The Explorers” can spot the highest peak of Western Europe which rises to 15,771 feet (4,807 metres) above sea level.
