Toccoa Falls is a pretty 186ft plunging waterfall nestled deep within the Toccoa Falls campus. Julie particularly liked this waterfall as it had a classical long rectangular shape as well as pretty…

While we were busy trying to figure out if we had indeed found the trailhead for Yellow Branch Falls, another vehicle pulled up into the lot. It was a lone man, and Julie was eye-ing him…

So on this Labor Day, Julie insisted that we go out to a waterfall. I thought the idea was absurd since we had such a dry year and I was almost certain there weren’t any waterfalls worth…

This itinerary covered a three-week trip that can be split up into two parts. The first part of the trip was pretty much a week-long self-driving loop of a limited part of Northern France that started and ended in Paris. The second part of the trip covered two weeks of a much longer loop…

Les Cascades du Herisson was perhaps the one waterfall excursion in France that made us see waterfalls in our sleep! That was because the Herisson Valley harbored at least seven…

Cascade de Flumen was the last waterfall we visited on our 2012 France trip, and it was certainly one of the more obscure ones because it probably wouldn’t have had an obvious trail…

Saut du Doubs was a waterfall we went a little out of our way for. The reason for such effort was that this waterfall happened to be a rare transnational waterfall…

Cascade d’Arpenaz was a pretty easy and straightforward waterfall for us to see and visit as it was easily seen off the A40 autoroute. It was certainly one of…

Cascade de Berard was the lone waterfall on our France trip where we didn’t get to see it properly after hiking to it. That was because access to the viewpoint…

Cascade d’Angon provided us the perfect waterfalling excuse for enjoying what we think was one of France’s “hidden” gems – the charming canal town of Old Annecy…

Cascade de Seythenex provided us another waterfalling excuse to explore around the outskirts of the Lake Annecy area. What made this impressive 45m waterfall different was…

Cascade de Glandieu was probably one of Julie’s favorite waterfalls in France. It had what she likes to call “character” because its underlying wall had both texture and color…

The Saut de La Pucelle (which I believe translates as “the leap of the Virgin” or “the Virgin’s leap”) was the lone waterfall attraction that we were able to fit in during…

Sillans La Cascade is the name of both the pleasant double-barreled waterfall as well as the town just upstream from it. Technically, both the waterfall and town…

Cascade de Courmes was the waterfall attraction we sought out in the Gorge du Loup. It’s an impressively colorful and tall free-falling waterfall that was scattering…

Saut du Loup is nothing grand, but it is an intriguing stop driving through the rugged Loup Gorge. Visiting this waterfall was pretty much a piece…

Cascade d’Ars (or the Ars Waterfall) was certainly one of the few waterfalls we had to physically work for in while in France. This waterfall was both impressive and memorable probably…

La Cascade de Gavarnie is certainly one of the more well-documented waterfalls in France. It sits in a glacial cirque, resulting in what we believe has to be one of the most beautiful locales…

Pont d’Espagne (or Bridge of Spain) I think really refers to the general scenic area encompassing Lac de Gaube (Gaube Lake), the waterfalls here, and the minor developments at road’s end…

Gimel Les Cascades (literally Gimel The Waterfalls) is the name of both the collective set of waterfalls as well as the charming town above them. The waterfalls may also be…
