Our take

A gate, a pasture, and the Cézallier summer pastures all around. A nature break on the road between Allanche and Marcenat.

A waterfall near Landeyrat, in the middle of the Cézallier summer pastures: you park on the road, go through a gate, cross the pasture, and you are there.

You are on the Cézallier plateau, a stone's throw from Landeyrat. The Veyrines stream falls as a waterfall in the middle of the summer pastures: fields, a gate to go through, Salers cattle and their bells all around you.

From Allanche, head towards Marcenat, then turn left towards Landeyrat after the buron des Estives (a herders' hut in the summer pastures). Park as soon as you can, walk back a few metres, go through the gate and cross the pasture to the waterfall. Open and free access, all year round if the weather allows.

Come preferably in spring or after good rain, when the stream is flowing well.

Why we love it

  • A waterfall in the middle of the Cézallier summer pastures

Top tip

Close the gate behind you: herds graze around the waterfall.

Before you go

  • Come in spring or after good rain, the stream has much more flow
  • Park as soon as you can on the Landeyrat road, walk back a few metres and go through the gate: the waterfall is on the other side of the pasture
  • Open, free site, with no opening times or tickets
