Looking for something to do with the whole family in the Lot, or an easy, spectacular hike near Rocamadour or Saint-Céré? We’ve got just what you’re looking for: the Cascade d’Autoire, a veritable natural gem nestled in the heart of the Cirque d’Autoire, listed as one of France’s most beautiful villages.

🌲 A nature walk between cliffs, streams and fresh air
On our last getaway, we had the pleasure of discovering this natural wonder. A beautiful hike leads from the village of Autoire to the 30-metre-high waterfall, which cascades from a limestone cliff. A real sight for sore eyes… and ears!
We were an adult and an 11-year-old, so we had a lot of fun along the way, between little bridges, wooded passages and the sound of gently flowing water all the way to the waterfall.
This walk allows you to recharge your batteries, reconnect with nature, and offer children and adults alike a real moment of disconnection. And don ‘t forget your walking shoes! This is a hike, not a beach outing. 😅 Spoiler: sandals are a no-no (tested, not approved!).
