Cascade de Vegay

Waterfall in France: Cascade de VegayCascade de Vegay is a waterfall east of Aiglun in the region Alpes/Alpes Maritimes, France.

Cascade de Vegay is located along road D10, east of Aiglun. Cascade de Vegay is visible from the roadside but it is also possible to hike to the base of the waterfall, a nice place for a refreshing shower with warm weather.
