Stand from afar and admire the charming wooden bridge at the base of a cascading waterfall in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The viridescent landscape makes this whole scene look like it's out of a fairytale — happily ever after indeed!

This image was taken from the base of the Grande Cascade du Cirque de Saint Même, looking south onto the bridge and waterfall. From the town of Les Echelles in France, drive east along the roads D520C and D45C to Saint-Même d’en Haut. At road's end there will be a parking lot, which will then lead to the trail that starts into Cirque de Saint-Même and its waterfall sights. Reference the GPS coordinates and you'll be able to find where I stood for this perspective.
