Cascades de Gimel, Waterfall series in Corrèze, France

Cascades de Gimel is a series of three waterfalls on the Montane, a tributary of the Corrèze, near Gimel-les-Cascades about eleven kilometres north-east of Tulle. The Grand saut falls 45 m, the Redole 38 m, and the Queue de cheval plunges more than 60 m into the gouffre de l'Inferno. The water drops through narrow clefts between grey-brown rock walls, broken into white foam along its whole length.

The Montane, a tributary of the Corrèze, drops 143 metres in three main falls and one smaller one at this site. In 1912 the cascades were among the first natural sites classified in France. Gaston Vuillier made them known at the end of the 19th century and campaigned for their protection; the private Parc Vuillier bears his name.

Gaston Vuillier, a painter and explorer from Tulle, made the falls known at the end of the 19th century and campaigned for their protection; the private park around them still bears his name, Parc Vuillier. The site was classified as a natural monument in 1912, among the first in France.

The site opens seasonally during warmer months, with clearly marked pathways guiding visitors through the gorge. Parking and basic facilities are available near the village entrance to help plan a comfortable visit.

The falls drop in three main leaps plus a small one, 143 m in all, on the Montane. The highest, the Queue de cheval, plunges over 60 m into the gouffre de l'Inferno. A fourth cascade lies downstream of the Parc Vuillier, outside the ticketed circuit.
