Village of Roquefort-les-Cascades

The waterfalls: 30 meters high, the waterfalls produced a rare and very fragile phenomenon: a tuffier. A true natural geological curiosity, the tufière or petrifying waterfall is formed of “tuff”, powdery and friable limestone, white to beige in color. The water from the Turasse springs, being particularly calcareous, the tuff is deposited on the moss and pieces of wood in the form of a crust. The disappearance of this plant debris through fermentation partly gives the rock its porous texture reminiscent of a sponge. Be careful not to walk on these extremely fragile formations, but on the paths that go around them. The remains of the castle: of the castle there remains a substantial wall and some constructions that one would not suspect of the village.

►It is reached by a short, pleasant hike starting from the Carol church. Follow the arrows and yellow markings. Allow 1h30 round trip.
