This trail will let you explore several rivers and waterfalls, in particular the Orgon waterfalls in the depths of the wild and rugged Coudoulous valley. NB: After the waterfalls, there is a fairly steep downhill section.

Be careful, a somewhat steep climb awaits you on the way back, before the waterfalls!
This route allows you to discover streams and waterfalls, and more particularly the site of the Orgon waterfalls, in the heart of the wild and rugged Coudoulous valley.
