Bikepacking trip with a night bivouac on the shores of Lac des Rousses, beach side. Very windy at night, so wrap up warm. Otherwise, a magnificent lake with few people (early August).

A very nice border village to relax in after a bike ride (from Geneva in our case). We spent the afternoon and a night camping near the lake. Shops nearby for supplies 👍

La Cure is on the border with France. Following numerous border changes, several buildings have one foot in Switzerland and the other in France. This is particularly the case of the Franco-Swiss hotel located astride the border.
