Petite Cascade de Tendon – Small Waterfall in the Countryside Tucked away in the sparse forest near Tendon lies the "Petite Cascade," the smaller of the two waterfalls in the area.

The "Petite Cascade de Tendon" is also very impressive. The water cascades 10 meters into a thunderous drop in two stages.

Beautiful path through the forest. The magical atmosphere is exaggerated by the presence of hundreds of small stone towers, built by hikers.
