Our take

A little-known waterfall, in a quiet, unspoilt corner of Saint-Front. A short loop, doable as a family from age 6.

A little-known waterfall near the hamlet of Souteyros, in Saint-Front: a 45-minute loop, doable with children from age 6.

The Cascade de Souteyros is hidden away near the small village of the same name, in the commune of Saint-Front, in Haute-Loire. You park in the village, and a loop of about 45 minutes takes you to the waterfall and back.

The walk suits children from age 6. The place is quiet and unspoilt, and the waterfall remains little known.

Access is open and free all year round. Come preferably after a few days of rain, when the stream has some water, and wear good shoes: near a waterfall, wet rocks are slippery.
