The Auzon is a karst river in the Cevennes , France . It rises on the Plateau du Coiron near Freyssenet and runs generally in a south-easterly direction and flows into the Ardèche after 26 kilometers at Lanas as a left tributary . Most of the year the Auzon is completely dry; after heavy rainfall, massive amounts of water can tumble through the river bed.
