Cascade de Sillans, Natural waterfall in Sillans-la-Cascade, France

Cascade de Sillans is a waterfall where the Bresque River drops steeply into a rocky valley with steep sides and trees. The main drop reaches about 44 meters into a deep basin that collects the water before it flows downstream.

The waterfall is fed by the Bresque, a tributary of the Argens that rises nearby. The site belongs to the Departmental Council of Var. Bathing in the basin has been banned since 2005, and a fence was installed in January 2011 to block access. After several months of work, the council opened a new belvedere overlooking the falls in August 2014.

The commune itself is named Sillans-la-Cascade after the falls, its main tourist attraction. Since 2005 swimming in the plunge basin has been banned, and a fence was put up in January 2011 to block access to it. In August 2014 the Departmental Council of Var, owner of the site, opened a new belvedere with a panoramic view over the waterfall.

The site lies southeast of the village centre of Sillans-la-Cascade, in the Var department. A geological study found the tufa path giving access to the fall dangerous, and swimming in the basin has been banned since 2005, with a fence installed in January 2011. The Departmental Council of Var, which owns the grounds, opened a new belvedere with a panoramic view of the fall in August 2014.
