Top 20 things to do and attractions in Samoens

The place is really beautiful, especially the flaine side. Amazing, with those views to Mont Blanc. Nice runs, if the snow is good then the ski experience is top. There were lots of people in the first week of march but we didn't have to wait for more than 5 min in any lift. Lifts are a bit slow I would say, but not a big deal. I really recommend this resort. Attached is a video of a black run, really fun (there is tons of blue runs also for a chilly ski)

Nice easy access to telecabine up to main ski area. Quite a lot of other lifts closed when I was there due to wind which cuts off access to the wider skiing areas of Flaine and makes return to Samöens difficult. However there is an excellent free bus service if you get stuck at other areas such as Morillon. So no need to panic!

Amazing place to spend your days. A bit crowded on holidays, but there's still a lot space to play.

We stayed with our family in Samoëns in August. A lovely town with lots going on in the summer. A very good market and a lake nearby with lots to do. The views alone are worth a visit and the mountains are all around you. Trips to Geneva and Chamonix are possible as well as nearer attractions. Lots of walks locally too.

The slopes were fantastic. It was icy initially but it snowed heavy for 2 days and made the skiing conditions great. Can walk out of the club med hotel and onto the slopes. Brilliant

What a gem this place is. Stayed in Les Carroz, but also skied Flaine. Would highly recommend it for new to intermediate skiers. I'm hoping to be lucky enough to visit again in the future.

Great resort for all abilities, close to Geneva and easily accessible via car or public transport. Ski canons provide snow coverage even in the worst of seasons. A number of ski touring routes are now open in all villages which are great. Also very family friendly resort with under 8 year olds ski for free!

Our second time here and the whole experience was again excellent. Great veggie and gluten free choices. Lovely ambiance and super helpful team. Will come again

We have been three times to this restaurant in the last 3 weeks. We have come with 12 guests each Thursday and we have had the best time each week. The service is very good and the food is so fresh and delicious. The restaurant decoration is very Alpine and they have an extra room in the back where you can sit with a big group. We had a selection of different food and the quality of the meat is fantastic and so is the cheese fondue. Great wine list and we loved their cocktails. Thank you very much for everything. Nadine ROGER

Very tasty food; our group had lots of different dishes, but some of the standouts would be gazpacho and baked ravioli dish. In terms of value for money, it was more on the expensive side, but can recommend it nevertheless!

Beautiful chalet setting, with friendly and welcoming service, great company and beautifully presented, incredibly creative dishes and extensive wine menu. Really enjoyed our dining experience here and look forward to revisiting during our next Samoëns summer vacances!

I ordered a main course of veal shank and the meat was so over-cooked that I left two thirds of the meat on my plate. I showed the waitress how dry it was when the plates were being collected and she told me that she would inform the chef. I naively believed that would result in the bill being adjusted, however, when I received the bill it was for the full amount. I would expect any decent restaurant which values its reputation (and which can tell whether meat is dry or tender) to voluntarily offer a discount. I ended up speaking to the maitre d' and offered to pay for half the dish (I thought this was generous) however, she only offered me an €8 discount off a €28 dish. She insisted that she had tried the dish in question before and that it was delicious and she wouldn't listen to my arguments that perhaps my version of the dish was over-cooked but hers wasn't. There was no apology from any member of staff and the, in my view, unsatisfactory discount I had to fight for was given reluctantly after a heated exchange. Not the standards I would expect from a fine-dining restaurant. I am sure many people will have a good meal here where all dishes are cooked well, however, if the measure of a restaurant is how they treat their customers when they fall below standards then La Table de Fifine falls well short and, in my view, should be avoided.

We had a really lovely evening at the Table de Fifine. The decor was amazing with beautiful old beams, large spacious wooden tables or cosy eating areas giving privacy if one wanted. The kitchen is open onto the eating area and you can watch the chefs cook the dishes. The staff were very friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

A fantastic restaurant. The “centrepiece” dish is undoubtedly the steak served on hot volcanic stone, but the starters (example pictured) and the dessert were where the real art was displayed. A great choice of wines to go with the food.

One of the most beautiful botanic gardens I've seen. Laid out so naturally, including areas like an alpine meadow. A little bit wild but that's clearly intentional, as the gardener was editting the self-seeders when we were there. Plants are still labelled pretty well, which is great. It has an occasionally steep but smooth path to the top plus some brilliant off-the-beaten-track routes through some areas. And a few seats along the way for a breather, and views out to the mountains. Such an inspiration!

A beautifully maintained botanical garden showcasing plants from many regions across Europe and the Middle East. Suitable for both young and old, with scenic mountain views along the walking paths.

Lovely walk, nice flowers and scenery of the area. Walking distance from the city center.

AMAZING botanical garden stroll with so many nooks & crannies. A truly magical place!!

Love this place so peaceful...

Small but perfect little hike up the garden with beautiful views and small waterfalls. Kids will love it.

Beautiful place to walk around, learn and enjoy great views from the top. It's well taken care of and has a huge variety of plants. The entrance is free which makes it perfect!

(Translated by Google) Very nice place to walk, the paths are wide and clean. Play area for children, grounds for playing boules. Swimming prohibited and access to dogs also prohibited.

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful places in the region. Guaranteed to be a great photo opportunity! A sublime bridge, numerous activities (tennis, paddle, swimming in the lakes, municipal pool, inflatables, etc.), and various dining options. Enough to spend the day and even picnic without any problem. Ideal for families with children. It's a must-do in Samoëns! (Original) Un des plus beaux endroits de la région.

(Translated by Google) Since I was little, I have been used to seeing this lake around the mountains in the heart of the Giffre valley. I went there with my father years ago when there was the fishing competition at the beginning of spring. The area is very lively and busy, especially in summer, and it adds atmosphere to the area. Even though I know Samoëns very well, it is always pleasant to rediscover this lake whatever the season, it adds variety to the colors. I recommend discovering this leisure center for tourists! (Original) Cela fait depuis que je suis petit que j’ai l’habitude de voir ce lac autour des montagnes en plein cœur de la vallée du Giffre, je m’y rendais avec mon père il y a des années lorsqu’il y avait le concours de pêche en début de printemps, l’espace est bien animé et fréquenté, surtout en été, et cela met de l’ambiance dans la zone. Même si je connais très bien Samoëns, c’est toujours agréable de redécouvrir ce lac quelle que soit la saison, cela rajoute de la variété dans les couleurs. Je recommande la découverte de cette base de loisirs pour les touristes !

(Translated by Google) Magnificent lakes, walk accessible to everyone. You can go around both lakes. I recommend it. (Original) Magnifique lacs, balade accessible pour tous le mondes. Ont peut faire le tour des deux lacs. Je recommande

Unforgettable winter fairytale! Keen to check out this place in summer for some running and hiking!

Do not depend of the tourist office for any help. We were told we didn’t a bus reservation by them. They knew we were waiting outside. The bus never came, we asked inside. They tell us “oh, we had to reserve and the next bus is in 8 hours”. Extra note: they were very very rude.

Not that helpful for mountain bike advice…

A very helpful English speaking lady was manning the desk. There were some reasonably priced souvenir items available as well.

Inf about event's, ski pists, children activities, and more. Very nice staff

Went in for advise but given incorrect information which was a little annoying. Friendly staff though but maybe learn a bit more about Google maps and difference between walk and drive distances.

We had our dog with us and wanted information on taking her Staff were very helpful.

Good Supermarket. Can be busy when the slopes are closing, but they have a very decent range of goods. Especially the Fish department seems nice. They have tastings.

Has everything you will need if visiting for skiing. Be warned if you are make the trip on foot from Samoëns there is limited to no footpath which makes it a treacherous and somewhat dangerous walk at night. Nice bonus is the sports store next door if you need any forgotten/additional ski items.

We went there without much expectations. After all, a super market is a super market, we thought. But they had a beautiful produce section, a great bakery, and a huge selection of wines at good prices. We loved going there while we spent a month in Samoens.

Really don’t like this place. The refrigerators smell, they are rarely fully stocked with the standard items ( no fresh milk and wasn’t expected for 3days!). Thought the renovation would improve their presentation, but the dust and dirt is still there under the shelving even though they are finished. Not a hygienic way to sell food at all. Go to Super U instead.

The only supermarket option other than the very small 'metro' option in the town centre. Barely any choice of fresh fruit, veg or herbs and lots of empty crates where most of the choice should have been. Somewhat rrdeemed by a decent wine selection and duck confit at a good price

Good local supermarket. English section has improved so now includes pg tips and three fruit marmalade. Bakery is fine.Fish very limited. Butchers ok and now has some cooked meals. Much better selection of everything further down the valley in super u taninges.

As a resident of Samoens i cannot understand why this supermarket is getting worse after all the negative feedback it has had in the last year. The final straw was the empty shelves (again) after Christmas. Christmas is on the same day every year, during the busiest time of the season. Why are the shelves empty after Christmas when you know that demand is going to be at its highest? And when you ask for something the answer you get is usually a shrug of the shoulders and 'I don't know'. I now drive the extra 15 minutes to super u in Taninges - better stock, more checkouts open, friendly staff. I know a lot of residents are doing the same and it is just the tourists who don't know any better. But carry on like this and will this shop still have a future? The really sad thing is I know that this review will just go in the bin and nobody will take any action.

Best pizza place in Samoens Lin is a amazing person all the staff are great

A fantastic find , Ling and her staff are amazing serveing great food , fantastic atmosphere too.

Had two great meals here. Food excellent, service is great, location and atmosphere are good. It's all good, but the duck dish is superb.

The Best family restaurant in town. Fantastic food and service. Would highly recommend best salad and pizza.

We were in Samoens for five nights and ate here twice. To be honest we would have eaten here more often but they get very busy. The owner and staff are super accommodating friendly. They managed to squeeze us in as a walk in on our first visit and made us feel very welcome. The prawn starter is amazing and the duck dish is just stunning. A must place to eat.

Fabulous restaurant, went for our anniversary meal. Fondue and pizza 🍕 excellent. Service extremely good, they filled up our water carafe three times without us asking. Crème brûlée and ice cream desserts were perfect 👌. Very attentive staff and made us all welcome. Going to again with family next week! 😀 Best to book to avoid disappointment.

A super restaurant, serving fresh pizzas and delicious salads. Great service !!

Decent restaurant, no reservations so if you're at peak time might be risky (and there's a lot of tables squeezed in here). The meals were pretty good but portion size was small. Our visit probably made worse by a very loud table drinking nearby.

In the centre as part of the village square this brasserie has a large outdoor seating area and ample indoor space. Popular with diners it didn’t lack custom… but it lacked something. Compared to the many French restaurants we frequented during vacation there was a lack of warmth or atmosphere here. It felt like any other busy street “cafe” and the food was at best quite average. The burger meat nothing special, the brioche bun disintegrating after two bites, the steak chewy & accompanied by an “curry-esque” tasting sauce that wasn’t pleasant. If all the places we ate this last fortnight, this one we’d skip returning to. Sorry guys!

Great food, the only negative point is the waiters, as soon your main is served, you are forgotten. We waited to get our water bottle, waited to order dessert, waited to get our chartreuse. They are so in a rush that they forget to smile. Positive point; the barman, a blond tall guy. You've been fantastic! Lovely restaurant decor, and lovely food. Perfect

Stopped for lunch there with my wife, two salads Nicoise, a beer and a wine later we left quite contently. It offers pretty standard french cafe food, well assembled, presented and tasty. The Brasseurs Savoyards Nonne IPA was fab, crisp, clean and refreshing!

Very excellent restaurant in the middle of Samoens village. The place and location are very beautiful. The service is very excellent and the food is very delicious, especially the hamburgers. If you are in the area, you should choose this meal. Also the employees are very nice

Great place for food in a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended this place if visiting Samoens

Not sure why this is called brewery, to me this is a good restaurant. Awesome burgers, great charcuterie board. Some reviews mention high prices, I get it, but you do get huge meals with those prices.

Brilliant little cinema..

(Translated by Google) After seeing a few films in this cinema, I can finally give my opinion. I would say that the room retains the charm of the period and that there is a real pleasure in being there to see a film. But the trouble is that it's double or nothing because also keeping the seats of the time, a long film can make you drool. For example, after watching a film lasting about 3 hours, I and my team found ourselves turning around in our seats due to lack of comfort. However, I can only recommend it for the experience. Ps: if the film is not too long you can go there peacefully (Original) Après avoir vu quelques films dans ce cinéma, je peux enfin donner mon avis. Je dirais que la salle garde le charme de l'époque et qu'il y a un réel petit plaisir à se retrouver là pour voir un film. Mais l'ennui c'est que c'est quitte ou double car gardant également les sièges de l'époque, un film long peut vous en faire baver. Par exemple après avoir vu un film d'environ 3h, nous nous sommes retrouvés moi et mon équipe à se tourner dans nos sièges par manque de confort. Néanmoins je ne peux que le recommander pour l'expérience. Ps : si le film n'est pas trop long vous pouvez y aller sereinement

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant place, with a small room where you can really enjoy the film. The boss is also super nice, very warm welcome. Thank you for these good times spent at your home (Original) Lieu très agréable, avec une petite salle où on peut vraiment apprécier le film. Le patron en plus est super sympa, accueil très chaleureux. Merci pour ces bons moments passés chez vous

(Translated by Google) What a pleasure to see that there are still cinemas other than the “projection boxes” without soul or history. The facade is reminiscent of that of the very beautiful film Cinema Paradisio, let's hope that that of Samoens will not experience the same outcome even if the comfort does not necessarily correspond to today's criteria. Cinema fans will appreciate it. (Original) Quel plaisir de voir qu'il existe encore des cinémas autre que les "boîtes à projection" sans âme ni histoire. La façade rappelle celle du très beau film Cinema Paradisio, espérons que celui de Samoens ne connaitra pas la même issue même si le confort ne correspond pas forcément aux critères d'aujourd'hui. Les amateurs de cinéma apprecieront.

(Translated by Google) cinema way too expensive for what it is in my humble opinion the entire room deserves a renovation, a cinema from such a poorly exploited period should be illegal, disgusting tapestry as much as the ceiling, which made me fall into depression again. but because of the price of the place I will not be able to pay for hospitalization. hoping you go bankrupt. Sincerely a viewer. (Original) cinéma beaucoup trop chère pour ce que c’est à mon humble avis la salle entière mérite une rénovation, un cinéma d’époque aussi mal exploitée devrait être illégale , tapisserie degeulasse autant que le plafond, qui ma fais retomber en dépression. mais à cause du prix de la place je ne vais pas pouvoir payer l’hospitalisation. en espérant que vous fassiez faillite. cordialement un spectateur.

(Translated by Google) Small cinema that shows good, recent films Too bad the crowds are so moderate (Original) Petit cinéma qui passe de bons films, recents Dommage que l affluence soit si modérée

(Translated by Google) It's time to renovate it! The sound and comfort are acceptable, but the screen size is tiny... The trailers are limited to clips that loop with music. The years go by and the price continues to climb: €9 per seat, almost as much as in the big complexes... (Original) Il serait temps de le rénover ! Le son et le confort sont acceptables, mais la taille de l'écran est minuscule... Les bandes annonces se résument à des extraits qui tournent en boucle avec de la musique. Les années passent et le tarif continue de grimper : 9 € la place, quasi autant que dans les grands complexes...

(Translated by Google) Warm place in which the municipality of Samoens always organizes activities very appreciated by children and their parents. (Original) Endroit chaleureux dans lequel la municipalité de Samoens organise toujours des activités très appréciées par les enfants et leurs parents.

(Translated by Google) The fondue that my mother and wife ate was excellent. For my part, I had a raclette with my 8 year old son. Nothing to say about the quality of the squeegee but I was disappointed that it was not a vertical device as you would expect from an assembly station! For the quantity it really seems fair to me for 2 adults and for 44€... on the staff: friendly, smiling, the waiter also took our photo. (Original) La fondue que ma mère et ma femme ont mangé était excellente. Pour ma part j'ai pris une raclette avec mon fils de 8 ans. Rien à dire sur la qualité de la raclette mais j'étais déçu que ce ne soit pas un appareil vertical comme on peut s'y attendre fans une station de montage! Pour la quantité ça me paraît vraiment juste pour 2 adultes et pour 44€... sur le personnel : sympa, souriant, le serveur nous a également pris en photo.

(Translated by Google) Unless there is a change of ownership, I remember a quality meal and a warm welcome from the owners. We had a small dog who was accepted in the room without problem which is not the case in many restaurants. The charcuterie dish is unforgettable, both for the variety of products and their quality. As for dessert, it was a treat!!! It was summer 2015. (Original) Sauf si changement de propriétaire, Je me souviens d'un repas de qualité et d'un accueil chaleureux de la part des propriétaires. Nous avions un petit chien qui a été accepté dans la salle sans problème ce qui n'est pas le cas de bien des restaurants. Le plat de charcuterie est inoubliable, tant par la variété des produits que par leur qualité. Quant au dessert c'était un régal !!! C'était en été 2015.

(Translated by Google) Very nice restaurant, very good food. But you better make a reservation, otherwise the waiter will tell you that they are full, even at 8:15 a.m. on a Saturday. We saw, places were available and the waiter said he couldn't because all the places were reserved without asking the number of people. We left at 9:45 without seeing any tables filling up. The boss should clean up his staff if he wants to keep his turnover. (Original) Restaurant très simpas ,très bonne nourriture. Mais vous avez intérêt à réserver,sinon le serveur vous dis qu'il sont complet, même à 8h15 un samedi. Nous l'avons vu, des places était disponibles et le serveur à dit qu'il ne pouvait pas car toutes les places était réservé sans demander le nombre de personnes. Nous sommes partis à 9h45 sans voir aucun tables se remplir. Le patron de devrait faire du ménage dans sont personnel, s il veut garder son chiffre d'affaire.

(Translated by Google) Very good fondue (we chose the Comté, Vacherin, Ayze fondue). Very good charcuterie (optional plate) but too much vinaigrette on the salad for my taste (often the case in restaurants). On the other hand, we mistakenly took nuggets for our daughter from the children's menu: to be avoided; prefer the good old chopped steak. Regarding desserts, the tornalta cup is delicious and the chocolate mousse (included in the children's menu) is very good even if a little too compact. (Original) Très bonne fondue (nous avons choisi la fondue au comté, vacherin, ayze). Très bonne charcuterie (assiette en option) mais trop de vinaigrette sur la salade à mon goût (souvent le cas dans les restaurants). En revanche nous avons pris à tort des nuggets pour notre fille dans le menu enfant : à éviter ; préférez le bon vieux steak haché. Concernant les desserts, la coupe tornalta est délicieuse et la mousse au chocolat (comprise dans le menu enfant) est très bonne même si un peu trop compacte.

(Translated by Google) Small resort restaurant not too bad, nothing too fabulous but the dishes are generally very good. Suitable for a meal with colleagues, even if it is often cold in the room. (Original) Petit restaurant de station pas trop mal, rien de bien fabuleux mais les plats sont généralement très corrects. Convient pour un repas entre collègues, même si il fait souvent froid dans la salle.

Majestic views of the valley below, with paragliders hopping off the top. If you take the Bus 5 to Joux Plane, it’s a really relaxed walk to the top. It feels criminal to be rewarded with such a view for so little effort.

Great views of Samoens, Mont Blanc and the surroundings.

Easy hike, great view of Mont Blanc. Family and senior group friendly hike. 30 mins easy walk from the parking to the summit.

Stunning views over Samoens as far as Mont Blanc and occasionally paragliders chucking themselves off for your amusement. A gravel track brings you to within about a kilometre of the top and there's a path from there.

Nice views of the Mont Blanc

Nice place and easy to go

(Translated by Google) Magnificent view of Mont Blanc. Parking is conveniently located at "Parking La Bourgeoise," and then it's about a 25-minute walk. This is great for families with children.

A fantastic canyoning experience for all of our family!! My daughter said “this is the best thing I’ve ever done in my life” Seb was a great guide, very safe and fun. Would highly recommend!

We had an amazing afternoon at the Blue Canyon with Hydrogene! Everything was perfect and they really looked after our group of differing abilities. Everyone said it was one of the best experiences they have ever had. Highly recommended when visiting Lake Annecy!

We had a brilliant morning with Sebastian. The green route was the perfect beginner session for my 7 year old and 9 year old daughters, amd they loved their first introduction to canyoning. We'll definitely be back!

We had a fantastic time on the Blue Canyoning route!! Amazing scenery and great guidance from Antoine, Suzanne, and Clement. Thank you for a great experience!

We loved our canyoning trip. We opted for the blue and it was thoroughly enjoyed by both the adults and the kids (ages 10 and 11 yrs). Great enthusiasm and knowledge from our guide too. 🙂

A great experience on the blue route for our familie. My youngest daughter, 8 years old, was helped perfectly. Thanks for the fantastic experience!!

Very well organised, good equipment, with knowledgeable and encouraging guide. We did the blue canyoning and it was an excellent intro with us each able to choose our own level of difficulty (based on our individual fearlessness threshold!). Would highly recommend.

Iconic view must visit

Outgoing and away from the crowds at Bourgeois

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful views of the ridge to go to Pointe d’Angolon. Be careful of a technical part with cables on the rocky cliffs. Very small part. Then go technical to go back down to the lake: slippery and steep. But it's worth it. (Original) De très belles vues sur la crête pour aller à la pointe d angolon. Attention une partie technique avec des câbles sur la falaises rocheuses. Toute petite partie. Puis partir technique pour redescendre sur le lac : glissant et pentu. Mais ça vaut le coup.

(Translated by Google) Great view! The path is quite steep going up to Lac du Nylon, and there's a short, steep section with a cable to hold onto. If you take the climb from the Joue Plane side, the ascent is easier. (Original) Super point de vue ! Le chemin est assez raide en montant pas le lac du Nylon et une petite partie escarpée avec un câble pour se tenir est à prévoir. Si vous prenez la montée du côté de joue plane l’ascension est plus simple.

(Translated by Google) Steep trail, you need to be well equipped. From Lake Joux Plane with children takes about 2 hours, the view is superb, silent with the song of the grasshoppers. The ascent to the point is quite steep, be careful, as is the descent. (Original) Sentier raide,il faut être bien équipé. Depuis le lac de Joux Plane avec des enfants compter environ 2h,la vue est superbe,silencieux avec le chant des sauterelles.

(Translated by Google) Left since the Joux Plane flight, very beautiful hike. Rather steep climb but well marked trail. Allow around 1h30 walking slowly. Impossible to stay at the summit because it is infested with flies or insects of any kind. Too bad because the view is superb. (Original) Parti depuis le vol de Joux Plane, très belle rando. Montée plutôt raide mais sentier bien balisé. Compter environ 1h30 en marchant doucement. Impossible de rester au sommet car infesté de mouches ou insectes quelconques. Dommage car la vue est superbe.

(Translated by Google) The path on the edge of the ridge is a little steep, a cable makes a small part of the ascent easier and it is not recommended to be afraid of heights. The view there is superb. Here is a photo of the point seen from below. (Original) Le chemin sur le bord de crête est un peu escarpé, un câble permet de faciliter un petit bout de l'ascension et il n'est pas recommandé d'avoir le vertige. La vue y est superbe. Voici une photo de la pointe vu d'en bas.

Excellent to viewing of the weekly hockey match

Brilliant activity in a great setting, reasonably priced. Rental Equipment quality is better than big cities ice rinks.

Great ice rink. The boots are light, not like the ones rented in England. Lovely area for little ones too.

Nice addition to Samoëns, not too busy, great for young kids as a section is reserved for them and the staff are friendly and efficient.

Always great, especially if it's good day for skiing.

Gets crowded fast, so come early.

Nice skating place!

Very beautiful and calm, hidden in the forest.

(Translated by Google) Short and pleasant journey, but not very signposted at the end. The waterfall is cool, and the last meters are indeed very perilous if you want to get as close as possible. (Original) Trajet court et sympa, mais peu indiqué sur la fin. La cascade est cool, et les derniers mètres sont effectivement très périlleux si l'on veut s'approcher au plus près.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful waterfall, easy to access for the whole family (Original) Très belle cascade, facile d'accès pour toute la famille

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful waterfall! the path stops about 100m before the waterfall (we can see it clearly from afar, it's possible to go all the way but it's a bit technical. Very very difficult to access from the top but magnificent (no path and steep slope) (Original) Très belle cascade! le chemin s'arrête à environ 100m avant la cascade (on l'a voit bien de loin, possibilité d'aller jusqu'au bout mais c'est un peu technique. Très très dure d'accès par le haut mais magnifique (pas de chemin et pente raide)

(Translated by Google) Another beautiful place, possibility of seeing the top or bottom of the waterfall depending on the route. The bottom is much more beautiful, a real spectacle for lovers of beautiful things 😍 (Original) Encore un bel endroit, possibilité de voir le haut ou le bas de la cascade suivant l'itinéraire. Le bas est bien plus beau, un vrai spectacle pour les amoureux des belles choses 😍

(Translated by Google) Quiet place, short stroll… Perfect for spending a moment of zen (Original) Endroit tranquille, petite balade… Au top pour passer un moment zen
