The Lac de Nantua is a superb body of water of 141 hectares. In the heart of the Jura, it offers an ideal setting for practicing a multitude of sports. It is even possible to swim in its waters.

Beautiful, simple, easy walk; lots of traffic noise on the "road" section, a bit of a shame, but the color of the water is magical

This boundary stone marked the border between Franche-Comté (north) and French Bugey (south). To the east, the Pays de Gex was separated by the Sardinian Corridor, in which the Spanish Way was located.

There is a monument there commemorating the local resistance fighters, who used this meadow to parachute in equipment for the British secret services during the Second World War.

A stronghold of resistance and an ancient milestone on the Sardinian road that led to the Netherlands in the 17th century. A very beautiful view of the Jura Mountains, too.
