19th-century bridge that crosses a gorge at the bottom of which flows the Château-Renaud, a stream that feeds the Lison resurgence. Its construction is surrounded by a legend of a pact with the Devil. The keystone of the main arch is carved, on the upstream side, with a grimacing devil's head, in reference to the legend surrounding this bridge

The natural waterfalls of the Tufs, formed on porous limestone rocks, offer an almost fairytale spectacle with their 15 m waterfall surrounded by lush vegetation.

A dreamy little spot to admire the waterfalls or, when it's really hot, bathe in the icy water of the Cuisance 😍
