Chutes du Caramy, Double waterfall in Carcès, France
The Chutes du Caramy features two seven-meter-high cascades that flow down limestone rocks, creating a natural spectacle in the Var region.
The waterfall system formed over centuries through the erosion of limestone deposits by the Caramy River, which continues to shape the landscape.
Local residents maintain traditional practices of canal management around the falls, reflecting centuries of water resource expertise in Provence.
Visitors can access the falls through a 3.5-kilometer walking path from either Carcès town center or the Lake Sainte-Suzanne parking area.
The waterfall changes its appearance throughout the year, displaying brown waters after rainfall and crystal formations during lower water levels.

Between Nice and Monaco, coastal trails provide the opportunity to explore the Mediterranean coastline through various routes. The Cap d'Ail Coastal Path, Nietzsche's Path in Èze with 400 meters of elevation gain, and the Mont Boron Park in Nice with its 11 kilometers of marked trails allow exploration of the region from different perspectives. These routes alternate between seaside sections and uphill segments, offering views over the coast and inland areas. The geological diversity of the region is evident in the limestone cliffs lining the Route des Crêtes between La Ciotat and Cassis, the rock formations of Cap d'Ail, and the red rocks of the Esterel Massif. Further inland, the Verdon Gorges feature a canyon 700 meters deep, while the Mercantour National Park houses the Sentier des Géants within its ancient forest. The historical heritage marks these routes: the Nice Observatory on Mont Gros dates from the 19th century, Fort La Revere overlooks the coast from 696 meters altitude, and Saint-Honorat Island preserves its active monastery. These trails serve as direct accesses to the nature and history of the French Riviera.
