An easy hike from Les Lindarets, known for its goats and traditional architecture, to the magnificent Cascade des Brochaux.
The path winds through the woods and you are lulled by the soothing murmur of a pretty river.
As you approach the Cascade des Brochaux, you can hear the gentle murmur of flowing water. The waterfall, a true natural gem, spills its waters into a natural pool. It's the ideal place for a relaxing break, a picnic in the heart of nature or simply to enjoy the comforting calm.
