Natural Crafts Midi-Pyrénées

A beautiful waterfall that rises over metres high in the heart of a small village… That is impossible? Well, if! How can France not surprise you! Take a tour and visit the village of Salles-la-Source. For the little story: it's here and around that many scenes of the Microcosmos film were filmed! For the history of the village: Salles-la-Source is planted in a cliff circus, on the edge of the Causse. Its waterfall, which is strongly advised to go to see, is powered by underground waterways. To learn more about Salles-la-Source, direction the museum of Du, very complete on the history of the vallon, he also presents the crafts of the past that operated here and has a planetarium.

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.

The park offers fun activities for children and the very young. In addition to family visits, the educational farm also welcomes groups of children and classes for sensory activities and experiments around nature and animals. The farm's team is made up of enthusiasts trained in children's activities and nature conservation. The animals, including mascot Basillia the pony, will be delighted to spend a pleasant moment in the company of visitors. Château de Bergues is also committed to protecting the environment as a LOP (League for the Protection of Birds) refuge.
