Cascade du Sautadet
The Cascades du Sautadet have been created over the centuries, when the water of the river Cèze has drilled with enormous force through the limestone rock mass. Due to this process of erosion, many holes and deep channels have been formed over the centuries. Some of these holes are as much as ten meters deep. Thanks to this process, a particularly beautiful landscape has been created. The name Sautadet is believed to be derived from the Greek god of death, Hades. This would be a reference to the many invisible caves formed by this process of erosion. In 1993, the Cascades du Sautadet were classified as "zone naturelle", recognizing this landscape as one of the most beautiful landscapes in the department of Gard.
