La vallée de la Benaize et le Pot Bouillant

  • Other type of nature site
Mondon, 87160 Cromac
The Benaize river rises in the commune of La Souterraine and forms the boundary between the Indre and Vienne departments. It spreads out in the middle of a green bed to form Lac de Mondon. Captive of the calm waters of the lake, it escapes through a narrow corridor to mingle with the waters of the Glévert, then becomes more tumultuous, encumbered by gigantic rocks. Not far away, you'll discover the rock shelter of the "Pont du Loup" (in the 1960s, flint artifacts were discovered here). Its course is blocked by a rocky outcrop, leaving just a narrow corridor where the Benaize rolls and leaps over a difference in level of around 2m, rushing and bubbling its way out in a sonorous and intense environment forming the Pot Bouillant. In addition to the waterfall, you'll discover the Marmite and Pas de B?uf, natural cavities hollowed out by the tumultuous waters.
