The Cascades du Hérisson, a natural jewel of the French Jura, offer a majestic spectacle with their multiple cascading waterfalls. Nestled in a lush forest, these waterfalls attract nature lovers and hikers looking for spectacular scenery.

Hiking

A superb hike with beautiful views of the seven waterfalls. It's quite crowded, so for a quieter return, you can take the GR 559 forest path back, which doesn't follow the water but is also magnificent in autumn!
