All about

Cascade du Saltou

Near the Col de Bonnecombe is a lesser-known waterfall than the Cascade du Déroc, but just as charming, if a little more modest: the Cascade du Saltou. This pretty waterfall is located on the ruisseau du Pesquio, and can be reached on foot via a path beside the road leading from the Col de Bonnecombe to Les Hermaux.

The hidden waterfall

The Cascade du Saltou is formed by a stream that starts at the Col de Bonnecombe and then forms a waterfall tumbling down remarkable basalt organs.

The setting is made all the more picturesque by the fact that the waterfall is completely invisible from the surrounding area, and you have to be at its foot to enjoy the spectacle.
