Le Saut de la Brame

Le Saut de la Brame features a vertical water drop flowing through rocky terrain, creating a natural spectacle that cascades into the surrounding river system of the Haute-Vienne department.

Historical records from the 19th century mention this waterfall as a notable geographical landmark, with local mills once utilizing its water flow for rural economic activities in the region.

The waterfall's name derives from the French word for deer calling sounds, reflecting local traditions and folklore that connect wildlife behavior with natural landmarks in rural communities.

Visitors should wear appropriate hiking footwear and avoid visiting after heavy rainfall when trails become slippery, with the best viewing conditions occurring during spring and autumn months.

Local legends suggest that the sound of cascading water can be heard from several kilometers away during certain seasonal conditions, particularly when water flow reaches its peak volume.
