The Petite Cascade de Tendon was really more of a short series of smaller-drop cascades. While it didn’t quite possess the size of the neighboring Grande Cascade de Tendon, this one seemed…

True to its name, the Grande Cascade de Tendon was the larger of two waterfalls in relatively close proximity to each other in Northeastern France. This particular waterfall featured a cumulative…

At one end of the Cirque du fer á Cheval in the shadow of the Tenneverge Peak (2985 m) is a jagged outcrop known because of its shape as the Corne du Chamois (Horns of the Chamois). There are two waterfalls here that are worth mentioning. The Cascade de la Pierrette also called the Fontaine […]

The Cirque du Fer à Cheval is a huge limestone amphitheatre 4 to 5 km in width, with cliffs of 500 to 700 m in height. It is the largest alpine mountain cirque and twin of the Pyrenean Gavarnie. During the spring more than thirty waterfalls can be seen eleven of which flow all year. […]

These two falls lie across the valley from the village of Salvagny. They are separated by only a few hundred feet. The Cascade de Déchargeux tumbles down over the bare rocks and is very visible from the road. The Cascade de Saubaudy has cut itself a deep gorge and its first fall drops at a […]

The Cascade de Rouget is located near the village of Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval in the Haute Savoie region of the French Alps. There are many waterfalls in this area but the Rouget is considered the finest and is known as ‘Queen of the Alps’. It has an interesting formation, falling once onto a limestone shelf and then […]

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…

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…

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…

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 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…

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…
