Reculée des Planches et cascade des Tufs

Swimming prohibited.
Access on foot or by car pool strongly recommended.

ACCESS TO THE CASCADE SITE: Due to overcrowding at the Tufs waterfall site, parking in the village is prohibited for non-residents, except for professional vehicles. A grass car park is available 800 metres before the entrance to the village (on your left). If the car park is full, please turn around and do not park on the strip of land reserved for pedestrians. You can also park in front of the Mesnay cardboard factory, 1,500 metres from the village entrance.

Welcome to the Reculée des Planches, an impressive valley enclosed by 245-metre-high limestone cliffs, making it the highest reculée in the Jura. Listed as a protected natural site and a Natura 2000 site, it is a treasure trove of flora and fauna... At its foot is the village of Les Planches-près-Arbois, while at the summit dominates the village of La Châtelaine.
The Cascade des Tufs is fed by the Cuisance river, which rises in the heart of the reculée and resurfaces through numerous cavities in the tuff (a limestone rock of sedimentary origin), offering a breathtaking spectacle.
