Cascade du Pain de sucre, Natural waterfall in Champagne-en-Valromey, France.
The Pain de Sucre waterfall drops 35 meters, creating a limestone formation at its base through mineral deposits from the Bèze River.
Over millions of years, calcium deposits from rainwater drainage formed a 10-meter high limestone stalagmite beneath the falling water.
The waterfall served as a filming location for the 2015 French movie 'Fou d'amour' directed by Philippe Ramos.
Visitors can access the waterfall through a staircase located 200 meters from the intersection leading to Songieu or Brénaz, with parking available nearby.
The water flows over a crescent-shaped limestone formation before collecting in a deep circular basin at the bottom of the falls.
