You will discover a beautiful, impressive and majestic career through visits, «poetry» illuminations, shows, theme nights… which are organized throughout the summer on this exceptional site. When you go to Payolle, the Career of Le Roy is a forced passage. So ask the program and go there. You will be amazed and you won't regret the trip!

Impressive, majestic, wow... these are the words you hear when you first see this 246-meter high waterfall whose main fall is 100 meters high! It is one of the most picturesque and imposing waterfalls in the Pyrenees. Located at the bottom of the Garbet valley towards the Latrape pass, it takes 1h30 to 2h to reach the waterfall. If you go in summer, you may be disappointed because it is at the end of spring (May-June) that the waves gush out in all their beauty and power when the snow melts.
