Glandieu Fall
The Glandieu Fall (French: Cascade de Glandieu) is a small waterfall in France. The fall is situated in Glandieu, in the Ain Department, between the villages of Brégnier-Cordon and Saint-Benoît.
It consists of two consecutive waterfall steps, for a total height of 60 metres, which carry the water of the Gland into the Rhône basin.
Until few time ago there was a marble quarry near the waterfall, in Brégnier-Cordon area, which used its hydroelectric energy. Two small hydroelectric power stations are still in operation, one for each municipality.
