Description of the walk

Parking is available in the housing estate. If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to park your car in the estate; otherwise, you can park in the stadium car park, then head along Rue de la Waterfall and Rue des Baoussous.

(S/E) Walk to the end of the street and carry on until you reach the junction a few dozen metres further on. Once you reach the bridge, take the small path furthest to the right and follow it until you see several large gardens. If you come across a cherry orchard, you’ve taken the wrong path!

(1) Cross the stream carefully; the stones may be wet after rain and will become very slippery. Once you’ve crossed the stream, take the path on the right and carry on until you reach the waterfall. The more adventurous can go right up to the edge.

(2) Follow the same route back to the starting point (S/E).

A very short but lovely round-trip walk, taking just an hour. We did it in winter, but it was a dry winter, so there was very little water. As you get closer to the waterfall, you need to be a bit careful when climbing over some of the rocks – especially for old folk like us...
