Roquefort waterfalls

A real natural geological curiosity, the tufière or petrifying waterfall is made up of tuff, a powdery and crumbly limestone, white to beige in color. The water from the Turasse springs being particularly calcareous, the tuff settles on the mosses and pieces of wood in the form of a crust. the disappearance of these plant debris, by fermentation, partly gives the rock its porous texture reminiscent of that of a sponge.

Be careful, take care not to walk on these extremely fragile formations but on the paths that bypass them. The waterfalls over the seasons:
-In autumn and spring (during the rains and snowmelt), this succession of waterfalls offers a magnificent spectacle.
-In winter, the frozen waterfalls are worth a look. In summer, they do not flow but the site and its exuberant vegetation are worth the trip.

Free and open access, all year round.
