On the way to Via Fluvia there is a Mozzarella manufacturing farm. The buffalo herd is in a meadow right next to the track. If you stop for a moment, you will hear their very hoarse cry.
You can check out the mozzarella shop and buy their product.

View of the Sucs along the Via Fluvia

Highlight • Summit

The juices are geographical formations resulting from volcanic activity. It is quite a unique feature in France and amazes anyone who stops for a few minutes to appreciate the scenery. There is also an explanatory panel to chain the next kilometers a little less stupid!
