In what country is the Massif Central?

The Massif Central is an elevated region in the middle of southern France, consisting of mountains and plateaus. It covers approximately 15 percent of the country. Subject to volcanism that has subsided in the last 10,000 years, these central mountains are separaten from the Alps by a deep north-south cleft created by the Rhône River and known in French as the sillon rhodanien (literally "the furrow of the Rhône").
