Cascade du Trador

A place of spectacular natural beauty, the Auvergne region is an off-the-beaten-path destination in rural France. The Cascade du Trador, located in the pristine Auvergne area, mesmerizes tourists with its spectacular flow of fresh water over dark, vertically ridged volcanic rock.

Any time of year, the changing seasons and the lush woodland setting make for a beautiful scene. The location is especially beautiful in the fall when the countryside comes alive with fall foliage. The Cascade du Trador, one of the numerous waterfalls on the Puy de Dôme high top (a Grand Site of France), is just one kilometer from the sleepy town of Laqueuille. The village, which is hidden among picturesque rolling hills, is well-known for its blue cheese, Bleu de Laqueuille. Visitors must take a short stroll along a well-maintained trail to get to the Cascade du Trador. It takes 30 minutes to complete this short distance to the waterfall. There is parking close to the Verdeix Bridge.
