Cascade des Tufs — hero

We drove to the Camping Car car park and picked up the little path that follows the Le Dard river from there. It winds a bit, but honestly the walk itself was part of the fun — 40 minutes in, and there were small surprises along the way the whole time. Don't let the walk put you off, it's not tiring at all.

If you'd rather skip the walk altogether, that's fine too — you can drive straight along the main road right up to the falls, and there's free parking there as well.
