Things to see and do

As you wander the village, you can admire Saint-Etienne church and its magnificent seventeenth-century architecture with its stone walls. Not far away, do not miss not to enjoy the St. Lawrence chapel and the ancient city walls with towers and battlements dating from the eleventh century.

After a tour in the old village, made a pass near the ancient villa or around the castle completely rebuilt in the eighteenth century, you will not regret it.

But Sillans-la-Cascade owes its fame to its natural feature that gave it its name, a beautiful waterfall over forty meters high. Accessible via a walk of 800 meters in the middle of plane trees, it definitely worth a visit.

The EuroVelo 8, also called Route of the Mediterranean, is a converted bicycle route through the village and can connect Cadiz in Athens.
