The Cascades du Sautadet: A natural wonder to explore

A unique natural site, sculpted over time

Carved over thousands of years by the force of the Cèze, the Cascades du Sautadet feature a striking series of waterfalls and natural pools. One of the site’s most fascinating features is the "Giant’s Kettles"—deep, swirling cavities sculpted by water and pebbles.

Be aware that swimming here is strictly prohibited due to strong currents and whirlpools. However, a short distance downstream, where the river calms, you’ll find safe spots for a refreshing dip.

Even better, the Cascades du Sautadet and their nearby sandy beach are just moments away from Camping Les Cascades. Enjoy a stay at our 4-star campsite in the Gard while immersing yourself in the charm of one of France’s Most Beautiful Villages. A stunning setting that adds a magical touch to your holiday.
