A charming family walk in the undergrowth, accessible to all, allowing you to discover 2 of Le Mont-Dore’s must-see waterfalls.
The Rossignolet waterfall discharges water from the Ruisseau de l’Enfer, which then joins the Dordogne. At the foot of the cascade, you can hear the gentle murmur of the stream, reminiscent of a nightingale’s song, hence the name of the cascade.
Over 20 m high, the Queureuilh waterfall flows over(…)
