Cascade de la Billaude

Cascade de la Billaude is a double waterfall in the Jura Mountains where water flows down steep rock walls in multiple stages. The site offers views of the flowing water and the surrounding rock formations that frame the drop.

The waterfall is also known as Saut Claude Roy, a name reflecting historical connections to local identity and how the region traditionally named its natural features. This older name shows how the area has marked significant locations throughout time.

Local artists and photographers frequently visit to capture the changing water patterns and rock formations throughout the year. The site draws people who want to experience and document the power of flowing water in its natural setting.

Visit during dry weather since the paths can become slippery when wet from mist or recent rain. Wear good shoes as the terrain is uneven and the ground can be unstable near the edges.

The water takes on different shapes depending on the season and rainfall, creating varied visual patterns across the rocks. After heavy rain the flow becomes dramatically more powerful and transforms how the waterfall appears.
