It looks like Bali, but it's in France: the spectacular 42-meter waterfall hidden in a natural paradise

Bali is one of the most sought-after dream destinations on the planet, and this region of Indonesia is undoubtedly a true paradise. Of course, you don't have to fly thousands of miles from Spain to Southeast Asia to see stunning natural landscapes filled with vegetation. In the south of France, there's an equally extraordinary location that's very reminiscent of the Balinese paradise.

The very name of the wonderful town of Sillans -la-Cascade, located in the heart of the fantastic Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region , already gives a glimpse of what lies in store for its surroundings. Just a few kilometers from the town, hidden among vast forests, lies an imposing 42-meter-high waterfall reminiscent of the surroundings of Bali, leaving every tourist who comes to admire it in awe.

The impressive Sillans-la-Cascade waterfall

Just a half-hour walk from the town of Sillans-la-Cascade, along a path flanked by tall, leafy trees, you reach this natural wonder hidden in the south of France. Amidst lush vegetation, the waterfall plunges some 42 meters into the void, forming a turquoise pool at its feet that only enhances the bucolic character of this incredible waterfall.

Although the breathtaking setting invites swimming, it is prohibited, as the beauty of this place is so breathtaking that thousands of curious visitors flock to it. The waterfall itself (which receives its water from the Bresque River), the surrounding environment, and the beautiful lagoon formed at its feet make this place a true treasure well worth discovering.

This spectacular waterfall is located on the edge of the Verdon Natural Park, and can be admired in all its splendor from a fascinating viewing platform, specifically designed to give the waterfall a more striking view. Therefore, it is undoubtedly one of the best excursions you can take if you are traveling through the south of France and visiting its major attractions.

After spending a few hours around the waterfall, you can always visit the historic center of Sillans-la-Cascade, a town of about 700 inhabitants that maintains a fascinating medieval spirit . The remains of its walls and Castellane Castle await tourists, but they should also wander through the town to explore all its splendid corners.
