Funny-named French/Swiss waterfalls--"Cascade de la Pisse"

[Carb0nBased 647]

I found out about this from someone posting a pic of one of these falls on Flickr. According to the following site, there isn't just one, but quite a few of them, scattered through France and the French-speaking part of Switzerland: https://www.europeanwaterfalls.com/waterfalls/cascade-de-la-pisse-mizoen/. The name doesn't imply urination, at least not to the locals,  it simply means "waterfall with a small stream", but to us English speakers it's quite a funny name for a waterfall. Maybe some member of Peefans will be inspired to hike to one and have a pee next to it 😃

It seems it is a natural reservation in there though, so that might be an issue 😞

There <was> this one in Austria, but they got fed up with the name and changed it...

Seeing the name written, I would have expected it to be somewhere near Hawaii--in which case it would almost certainly be pronounced like "peh-eh-peh-eh" rather than like the word "pee". Seeing as it's in Canada, it's quite possible it's pronounced just how it looks. But I imagine it's named after a word from some sort of native people's language, otherwise how would it have gotten that name?

Thailand has a whole pee pee archipelago.  It's near Phuket.

Don't be fooled by the way they spell it.  It's definitely pronounced "pee pee"  and not "fye fye," just like Phuket is pronounced "poo kett."

The River Piddle flows through Puddletown, which used to be called Piddletown.
