Central Massive
The Massif Central is a highland region in south-central France consisting of mountains and plateaus. It covers about 15% of mainland France. Subject to volcanism that has subsided in the last 10,000 years, these central mountains are separated from the Alps by a deep north–south cleft created by the Rhône river and known in French as the sillon rhodanien.
- Upland with an elevation of around 1,890 metres (6,190 feet)
- Description: elevated region in south-central France
