Park in the small car park in front of marker 143.
You will find it on the right-hand side of the road coming from Vence, after passing the ranches.
(S/E) Follow the wide path perpendicular to the D 2 for about 200 m.
(1) Note what appears to be a very small karstic cave.
The path is very easy for 1 km, then gradually begins to narrow and the descent becomes much steeper.
(2) Shortly before the river, you cannot miss the few remains of the old Vescagne mine.
it was in operation until 1953. The lignite extracted was transported up to the Coursegoules road by a cable car, of which no trace remains.
The path continues a few metres to the right towards the river, which you will have to cross by jumping from stone to stone.
From there, probably since Storm Alex, other hikers have reported that the route is very difficult.
A small, poorly marked path climbs up to the left, following the bed of the Cagne on the left bank.
The last few hundred metres involve stepping over a few fallen trees or walking through a rather marshy area surrounded by vegetation that resembles a small equatorial forest. But it's not difficult, it's actually quite fun.
(3) You can hear the waterfall before you see it. There is a tiny beach and a clear pool beautifully fed by this lovely waterfall nestled in the rock.
The return to (S/E) will be via the same route.
the passage over the iron beam is really very narrow, only 10 cm above the 15 cm deep river... One of the most beautiful waterfalls in Provence. The elevation gain is over 300 m (you start with the descent) and the slope is quite steep, so good non-slip shoes are essential. There are some muddy sections, but nothing too bad.
, my dog, had a great time! The waterfall is very beautiful. Best done in summer to enjoy the coolness.
