From Bourg en Bresse take the D979 to Serrières-sur-Ain. There take the exit to Bolozon (D91) and further north to Bombois. Just after entering the village of Bombois you cross a small stone bridge. Go right before or after the bridge and park your car.
From here it is a 15 minute walk (800 meters) following the river upstream until you see cascade de Pisse Vache. The trail goes up with an ascent of 160 meter.

We were in a Physics class around 1983 when the famous British satellite tracking schoolteacher Geoff Perry told us that there was a place called the Pissing Cow Falls. We never believed him. I fact check it in 2021 and there it is!
In France there are several waterfalls with the name Pisse in it!
