It flows into the [[Rhône River]]. The Eyrieux River runs for {{convert|83|km|mi|0}}. It passes through three different [[landscape]]s. A plateau is found above a commune called [[Le Cheylard]]. This plateau is marked by the sugarloaf cones of old volcanoes. This land is mostly used for cattle and sheep. In its middle section, down as far as [[Saint-Sauveur-de-Montagut]] and [[Les Ollières-sur-Eyrieux]], the river is a torrent. This means that it flows very quickly and roughly. It has a lot of [[flash flood]]s. The power made by this torrent was used first for [[silk]] mills. Now it is used for micro-[[hydroelectricity]] production. It is also a popular spot for [[canoe]]ists. The river never dries up in summer, because there are many dams and barrages that give it a steady flow. The lower section to the Rhône, at [[Beauchastel]] and [[La Voulte-sur-Rhône]], opens into a valley. There are many farms in the valley. [[Peach]] orchards grow here. {{commonscat|Eyrieux}} {{France-geo-stub}} [[Category:Rivers of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes]]
