★★★★★5 months agoThere isn't much to see, but the views are worth seeing. A beautiful place with a waterfall, we were there in December, the weather was good and we captured beautiful photos of memories

★★★★★Edited a year ago25 years ago, I said “yes” to my husband proposal so the Cascade is a very special place for us, and we never miss the opportunity to reminisce every time we travel to Nice! 🥰 To note: the access from the parking lot is through a dirt path, but the experience is worth the little “hike”.
