    I'm still amazed by the volume of water coming out of that spring. It is mind blowing for me. We were lucky to have an amazing day, but on the down side there was a lot of people, however the experience was a very pleasant one. We were with grandma and she is not terribly for but she enjoyed the walk just add much as us... The girls 5&7 had the most fun or of all of us. If you're around the area especially after a few days of raining take the time to go and visit. You'll find a car park before entering the village and from there you walk for 15-25 minutes, depending of your level of fitness. I hope you will enjoy just as much 😉

    It’s a little way up to the spring but it’s absolutely beautiful to go there.We were there in January and it was filled with water, sometimes in summer to water level is much lower and you can see a bit better where the water comes out of the ground. Stunning colors and in summer there are many lovely restaurants you can enjoy.

    If you are looking to be surrounded by nature, trees, and crystal clear water, this is the place for you. The water is cold but very refreshing under the scorching heat of 38 degrees. The little hike is perfect for family with kids. We sat on the rocks next to the river to cool down. Just heavenly for those who is looking for some tranquility.

    Beautiful even in winter. Hike uphill to see the water source.

    Impressive. Beautiful. Peaceful. Calm. Relaxing. Every superlative, literally. Really enjoyed visiting her with our young children. Cheap food options as well as a Michelin star restaurant. Also great place for a picnic by the water.

    This town is a real treasure, spectacularly situated among the mountains. In February it was still rather busy so I would imagine it is a zoo on summer weekends. It’s about a 20 minute walk along the river to the source. You can climb along the rocks for great views.

    Nice natural landmark to visit. Impressive.

  • 5/5 Sound aka David W. 9 months ago on Google
    Great spot. It's definitely worth a stop by. Good parking (try all the way at the end). Great walks and easy atmosphere. Shady spots to eat. Beautiful. Trail up to the spring itself, quite touristy, you certainly have choices for refreshments (reminds me of Bali and Thai tourist spot trails. Village center wonderfully kept pretty.

😠 Pas d'avis à donner. Après 2 tentatives de visite et payé 2 fois le parking, à l'arrivée sur le site : fermeture exceptionnelle ce jour ... Pas d'infos sur le site internet et pas plus d'infos sur site. Très déçue et 6 euros de parking !!!
