If you feel like swimming, Autet has a beach equipped and supervised on the Saône: follow the Route de la Plage to the south exit of the village.

Here the river disappears Rigotte in the mountain, depending on the water level, she can still make it to a cave opening in a rock wall, but the stream bed is often dry a few hundred meters before that. For a few kilometers you don't see any watercourse, only at Fouvent le Bas a river appears again and flows a few kilometers further with the name Vannon before it flows into the Saone. From the junction you continue on a dirt road, you have to walk the last few meters to the seepage point, the path is less suitable for racing bike shoes, especially after rain.
