Since then, no lava has flowed within France. However, this might not be a permanent situation, according to Guillaume Boudoire, a volcanologist at the Laboratory of Magmas and Volcanoes at Clermont Auvergne University. Interviewed by the Journal Du Net in an article published in April 2025, Boudoire spoke about a very likely \u201cvolcanic reactivation\u201d in the Central Massif.<\/p>\n<p>While the expert is certain of this reactivation, it\u2019s crucial to note that forecasting future eruptions is extremely challenging. However, volcanic activity tends to follow cycles, alternating between active and dormant phases. The activity in the Central Massif is not extinguished but merely slumbering, having been dormant for 7,000 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Though the last volcanic eruption in Puy-de-D\u00f4me dates back to ancient times, there could be new occurrences in the future within the Central Massif.
