A short, very easy hike to reach the waterfall! Don't hesitate to take your car to see it, from the D2202!

A lovely little walk with beautiful views of the river and the Var springs.
In summer, when it's hot, the natural mist from the waterfall is very pleasant.
I recommend picnicking a little higher up on the banks of the stream, facing a beautiful cliff where there are many birds' nests.

A short, easy walk. The waterfall is very beautiful, as is the stream that runs alongside it. A nice half-day outing.
