The „cascade de la vis“ is beautiful waterfall and an amazing place to swim. Just be aware, the spot is very touristy and filled with people (especially if you go in the summer season)! Little tip: just go to the other side of the bridge (through the water) if you want to stay and swim there for a little bit. When I was there, there were barely any people even though it is only 50 meters further down the river.

Effectivement, après avoir lu les avis des contributeurs, ce lieu est "magique". Déjà, le petit chemin qui mène du parking situé à l'autre bout du village (pour ne pas avoir à payer les 7,50E du parking) jusqu'à la Cascade est très sympa (on peut même longer le bord de rivière DANS le village), 10 mns de marche. Ensuite, on accède à la Cascade par un escalier en pierre puis on passe sous le pont en montant sur un parapet de 30 cm de large à son pied et on se colle contre le mur sur 4m pour ne pas se mouiller les pieds dans la rivière (on peut aussi plonger ses pieds), et ainsi accéder " derrière " le pied du pont sur les lieux. Là, on arrive sur cette plage très atypique. Ce qui est beau, c'est surtout ce qui se trouve dans l'eau, les rochers qui forment comme de grandes galettes empilées les unes sur les autres, et ça, sur tout le site, la couleur de l'eau vert transparent rajoute au charme de cette plage formée de galets blancs. La cascade en elle-même mesure environ 4/5 mètres de haut, on peut poser sa serviette tout près sur les grands rochers plats (très accessibles) ainsi, on reçoit tous les embruns de la Cascade. Top !

Very busy lots of people. Two ways to get in not very easy. One was steps from the road, and there were really bad smells used as a toilet "number two's." The other is walking over loose rocks from the car park. Car park €10 toilets there. Very busy indeed you need watershoes on to walk or paddle. Sharp stones. Dogs in water as well.

While it is busy from 11am onward, and the water is cold it really isn’t one to miss.

We didn’t expect the water to be so cold, especially since we went on a day with temps of 30°C+ but once you’re in it’s absolutely fine.

It does get busy as the day goes on. We arrived at about 9am, just after, and drove straight into a parking space with no issue. Found a place by the waterfall no issue too. By the time it got to about 11am it was busy, people driving in circles around the car park to find a space.

It’s beautiful, not one to miss. It’s really enjoyable, like a water park for €10 parking. Can’t...

This is an amazing waterfalls for everyone adrenaline junkie for Clif diving, pet friendly, kids friendly and for casual swim for adults. It was particularly crowded but still not much of a problem. Finding parking is difficult but there are options 1. Private parking spots on the opposite side of the main road 2. Public parking within 1km distance for the same cost 10euros. Don't carry the pram or baby stroller since its difficult to navigate on the pebbles. It's a small walk to the falls, so better carry the...

A piece of heaven on Earth. Ok never mind the crowd and the difficulty finding a parking spot or even a comfortable place to sit. Forget privacy for a while and even with all that... the waterfall and the river are sublime to swim in. The water is just that cold to make you feel like your skin is peeling off but 2 minutes in and you will not want to ever come out. Bring a cooler with drinks and food. Bring some nonslip shoes to wear on the rocks and in the...
