Les Petites Aiguières, Natural waterfall in Bouquet, France.
Les Petites Aiguilles is a waterfall in Bouquet where water cascades over limestone formations, creating a series of natural pools along the Séguissou stream. The water drops in several tiers down smooth rock surfaces that have been carved by the constant flow over time.
The waterfall has served as a water source for the farming communities of Bouquet for centuries. This role as a local resource shaped its value across generations.
Local residents maintain protective measures for the waterfall site, limiting access to preserve its natural state for future generations.
The path to reach the waterfall is demanding and requires sturdy hiking boots and some experience, as the trail climbs steeply over rocky ground. Start early in the day to ensure you have enough daylight for the return journey.
During the dry months from spring through autumn, the waterfall ceases flowing completely, revealing a different character entirely. The natural stone basins become sculptural formations that display the carving power of the water over time.
