La grande cascade
Saint-Vincent-de-Mercuze
💦"pass behind the waterfall, which makes it worthwhile"
🥾Good shoes essential, trail gets slippery after rain
🌸Spring or autumn for fullest water flow
Follow a forest trail past smaller falls until the path slips behind the Grande Cascade itself, where the water roars overhead and mist catches the light. The tufa-rich spring has fed these gardens for centuries, and the loop rewards good shoes with shaded woods and warm pools to dip your feet.
Hidden waterfall hike
Scenic forest trail
Pass behind waterfall
Challenging but rewarding
