Saut du Chalard

Saut du Chalard is a waterfall dropping through dense forest along the Dronne River, falling into a natural pool surrounded by rocks and trees. The water flows down layered stone formations and creates a small gorge within the woodland.

The site served as a boundary marker and meeting point for local communities during medieval times. The Dronne River and this waterfall have shaped settlement patterns and land division in the area for hundreds of years.

The waterfall appears in local folklore and holds meanings tied to the river valley's past communities. Visitors walking here often hear stories about how the site shaped the lives of people who lived nearby.

Access is by a marked hiking trail starting from the Piélut parking area near Champs Romain. The path leads through woodland and is straightforward to follow for most visitors.

The pool at the waterfall's base fills with cool water in summer, naturally inviting swimmers and creating an informal bathing spot. This gathering place attracts visitors looking for a refreshing break during warm weather.
