Cascade du Saut du Chien

The site of the "Saut du chien" is a succession of waterfalls in a granite chaos where the small stream of the Plane flows.

In addition to the various legends, the name of this privileged place is due to this large rock that can be seen at the foot of a waterfall topped by a stone in the shape of a dog's head.

Two platforms have been specially built on top of it, which allows the walkers to discover a little better this picturesque scenery, to see below the Couesque reservoir on the Truyère river, and also on a hillock, on the other side, the small village of Valon with its castle dating from the 12th century

You can discover the local flora by taking the botanical path located on the hiking circuit of the Saut du chien.

- Possible hike of two hours, yellow markings, starting from the jewelry workshop Lyseth Creation in Monnès

- 20 minutes walk (round trip) from "Le Laux
